Protecting & Restoring Zambia’s Iconic Miombo Woodlands

Full project name: Kabompo Community Forestry Carbon Project
Location: North Western Zambia
Project partner:

Impact on region/communities:
The project will conserve the iconic Miombo woodland in North-western Zambia,
which holds 30% of the country’s carbon stocks. The project activities will contribute
to the conservation and restoration of key wildlife habitats in the KAZA and West Lunga
ecosystems. Communities at the household level will benefit from conservation-based
employment; sustainable livelihood and economic interventions including climate-smart
agriculture and clean cooking. This will improve the livelihoods, nutrition and
household economies of vulnerable/poor communities.
It will promote collaboration across institutions in environmental management and
contribute positively to Zambia’s Climate change mitigation goals.
