Project Overview
Manatuto is located in central Timor-Leste and is a region where forests and plains coexist. In Timor-Leste, approximately 85% of the population is engaged in agriculture, and the Manatuto area is globally recognized for its importance in biodiversity conservation. However, due to prolonged unsustainable logging, traditional slash-and-burn agriculture, wildfires, and droughts, the forests in Manatuto have been severely degraded and the land has become increasingly barren.
This project aims to achieve both economic growth and forest restoration by rehabilitating the degraded forests in the Manatuto region through Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) and promoting agroforestry to improve the livelihoods of local communities.
The tree species to be planted include:
Project Site
Project Impact
The project will restore forests in the Manatuto region, improve the landscape, and enhance biodiversity. It will also introduce agroforestry practices to establish a sustainable forest management system that enables local communities to conserve forests while maintaining their livelihoods.
