WHAT IS IMPROVED FOREST MANAGEMENT (IFM)?

Improved Forest Management (IFM) involves implementing practices to enhance the health, productivity, and sustainability of forest ecosystems. A crucial aspect of IFM is supporting local communities by creating economic opportunities through sustainable forestry practices. Without the involvement and well-being of these communities, protecting and maintaining forest ecosystems is not possible. IFM strategies include selective harvesting, controlled burns, reforestation, and protecting sensitive areas, all aimed at providing financial incentives and resources to local populations while optimizing the ecological, economic, and social benefits of forests.

OUR PROJECT APPROACH

Our Improved Forest Management (IFM) projects are founded on a commitment to community empowerment and biodiversity conservation. We implement advanced silvicultural techniques such as planting, thinning, pruning, and controlled burns to enhance forest health and resilience. Central to our approach is supporting community needs in infrastructure, education and healthcare. We emphasize the importance of demonstrating additionality by employing innovative methods and tools tailored to each project. Through comprehensive impact reports, we transparently showcase the positive outcomes of our IFM initiatives, ensuring sustainable economic benefits for communities while achieving significant strides in forest conservation and restoration.

THE CRUCIAL ROLE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF IFM PROJECTS

Community empowerment and livelihood development

Optimised forestry practices, eco-tourism, education, and healthcare initiatives stimulate economic development while promoting gender equality and resource management skills. By empowering local communities to diversify their livelihoods, these initiatives enhance resilience and ensure communities benefit directly from forest conservation and sustainable resource use.

Resilience to natural disasters

Improved forest management enhances the resilience of landscapes to natural disasters such as wildfires, floods, and landslides. By maintaining healthy ecosystems and restoring degraded areas, these projects help protect communities from extreme weather events, reduce the impact of natural disasters, and safeguard infrastructure, livelihoods, and biodiversity.

Biodiversity conservation

IFM practices, such as selective logging and reforestation, play a crucial role in conserving and enhancing biodiversity. By restoring habitats and watersheds, these projects support the resilience of ecosystems and protect a diverse range of flora and fauna, including specially protected species.

Soil and water protection

IFM practices prevent soil erosion, enhance soil fertility, and regulate water cycles within forest ecosystems. These measures are essential for maintaining overall ecosystem health, supporting water quality, and ensuring sustainable land management practices

Enhancing forest health

IFM practices such as selective harvesting and controlled burns help maintain and improve the health of forest ecosystems, making them more resilient to diseases, pests, and environmental changes.

Carbon sequestration

Improved forest management increases the capacity of forests to sequester carbon, helping to mitigate climate change by capturing and storing CO2.
