Summary
Building on eight years of successful experience, this project seeks to upscale and outscale a transdisciplinary landscape approach integrating agriculture, agroforestry, forest management, and PES biodiversity interventions to protect the Moya forest and improve Comorian livelihoods; and to provide critical evidence for a body of practice gaining increasing global recognition. Catchment restoration and management ensures water security of 5000 villagers in the Moya forest and enhances biodiversity management, whilst agroforestry and agricultural development improve livelihoods for 10,000 villagers
