Help People in Myanmar Protect Vulnerable Forests
Organization information
Rural Development Institute DBA Landesa
Location: Seattle, United States of America
Summary
Farmers with secure land rights are better able to take care of their land and respond to the impacts of climate change. In Myanmar, Landesa is working with communities and the government to promote Community Forest Certificates, which legalize a way of life local people have been practicing for generations: farming among the trees. Besides giving families rights to farm and live in the forests, CFC's also gives community members responsibilities for caring for this important natural area.
