Restore Conserve and Protect Forest and Tree Cover for NDC Implementation in India (RECAP4NDC)

On-going
11 May 2022 to 30 Apr 2029

Description

Owing to socio-economic pressures, 43 percent of Indian forests are degraded. With 140 million hectares, the forest restoration potential is enormous. India is aiming at a national target for forest and tree cover of 33 percent, besides ambitious Bonn Challenge and NDC goals. Coordinated efforts of forest departments together with other line departments and institutions, decision-makers, local communities, and other stakeholders will support the translation of policy goals into action. In four states, the project supports key actors to effectively plan, finance, implement and monitor Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) and Trees Outside Forests (TOF) measures. By 2029, it aims to restore 0.4 million hectares of forest landscape. 10 million people will benefit from improved forest ecosystem services.
