Rehabilitation of forest ecosystems in Shishtavec-Kukes commune
With the aim of improving and rehabilitating forest and mountain ecosystems and increasing carbon sequestration, this project will increase the forest area through forestation of 12 hectares of land in the mountainous area of Shishtavec commune. The notable community participation is one of the main assets of the project, in partnership with CARE International Albania and the local NGO.
The project builds on the model of ?community forest? that has proven to be successful in the Albanian reality. The increase of forested area will contribute to the mitigation of negative impacts on the environment as well as contribute towards poverty reduction by generating income through sustainable use of the forest.
