Guangxi Huanjiang IFM (conversion of logged to protected forest) Project

The Guangxi Huanjiang IFM (conversion of logged to protected forest) Project (hereafter “the project activity”) is implemented in Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China by Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County Huashan Forestry Investment Co., Ltd, the geo-coordinate of the project is 107°51′E~108°43′E and 24°44′N~25°33′N, which includes the Improved Forest Management (IFM) of the forests in the conversion of logged to protected forest. The area of the project activity is 9,346.72 ha, including 1,306 subcompartments spreading over Huashan forest farm, Chuanshan Town, Dongxing Town, Luoyang Town, Minglun Town, Shuiyuan Town, Si’en Town, Da’an Township, Lonyan Township, Tiancai Township, Xianan Township, Xunle Township, Changmei Township of Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County.

Before the implementation of the project activity, the trees are logged based on a valid and verifiable government-approved timber management plan for harvesting the project area. The implementation of the project activity converses the trees to protected forest to reduce the GHG emissions for about 1,079,852 tCO2e in 20 years, the average annual emission reduction is 53,992 tCO2e and Verified Carbon Units with buffer deduction is about 831,476 tCO2e in 20 years, and average annual VCUs with buffer deduction is 41,573 tCO2e. The project activity will contribute to the environment (biodiversity conservation, rocky desertification prevention and soil erosion control), thus contribute to sustainable development.
