Community empowerment…These agreements grant access to the forests in return for their sustainable management. Empowerment is also achieved courtesy of the premium prices that are paid for the forest friendly honey and coffee. Finally, members of the forest management groups are provided with results of the biodiversity surveys, footage from the wildlife cameras and the sensors, as well as satellite images showing changes in canopy cover. This access to and sharing of information from the forests is not only interesting but also provides residents with important evidence that helps demonstrate the results of their community forest management initiatives.
