Project Planning Towards Diversification of Woodcrafts Around Kure Mountains National Park
In some of the villages around the National Park spoonmaking from Buxus semperfirensis is a traditional income-source. Cutting of the tree is illegal, both inside and outside the NP. The project development activity intends to find out whether it is possible to reduce the pressure on the trees by focusing on different types of wood, which can be obtained legally, and to more-value-added products particularly related to the National Park.

Project Characteristics and Results
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
The main focus of the project is to identify the possibility and feasibility of diversification of woodcrafts, which is a traditional income source in the area, in order to generate a sustainable alternative income source, as the current trend threatens the Buxus spp.
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
The project will indirectly create public awareness, as the main reason behind switching to alternative livelihood opportunities is to reduce the pressure on the National Park and help the local people benefit from it.
