The main goal of the project is to restore forest suffered from fires and increase overall forest rehabilitation potential in Dobryanka district, Chernigiv oblast with the purpose to decrease climate change impacts as one of the strategic priorities of GEF and SGP, reduce CO2 emissions and create forest fire barriers. Rehabilitation of forest and setting up of fire barriers are very topical and urgent issues of that region because there were 27 cases of forest fires on the territory of 13,03 ha in 2009 and 30 cases of fires on the area of 4,08 ha in 2010. Due to the GEF SGP and co-financing enterprise 200 ha of forest will be restored and over 1,6 million of pine-tree saplings will be planted.

In long term perspective rehabilitation of forest will led to reduction of CO2 emissions. 1 ha of pine-tree forest reduces CO2 emissions approximately by 1 ton a year. So, 200 ha of forest will reduce CO2 emissions by 200 ton a year in the future.

- Awareness raising and dissemination of information on damages of forest fires, methods of forest fires prevention and benefits from rehabilitation of forests. Moreover, attraction of public to forest rehabilitation activities with socio-economic and strengthen-capacity purposes;
