An ITTO project launched earlier this month aims at promoting research, development and training in carbon stock assessment to improve the management of tropical forests in Cambodia under REDD+ mechanisms.
ITTO Executive Director, Emmanuel Ze Meka, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia, Dr Ouk Rabun, and the Head of the Forestry Administration, Dr Chheng Kimsun, launched the ITTO project “SFM management through REDD+ mechanisms in Kampong Thom province, Cambodia” on July 23, 2015 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The aim of the project is to strengthen the institutionalization of REDD+ activities to reduce deforestation and forest degradation in the Tomring forest in Kampong Thom Province, the country’s second-largest province.
REDD+ project development activities began in Cambodia in 2008, and these initiatives continue to influence the development of the national framework for sustainable forestry.
