This will establish or maintain sustainable, community-based natural resource management in hilly or mountainous lands, prone to erosion and resource degradation. It also fits the'Additionality'criterion, which refers to the need to show that achieved levels of services would have not occurred in the absence of PES. In this case natural regeneration was prevented by excessive grazing of goats, so the regeneration can be shown to be additionality as a result of the PES scheme. The activities included in the project are expected to sequester a total of 0.14 Mt C02eq by 2012 and around 0.25 Mt C02eq by 2017.
