De belangrijkste oorzaken van ontbossing - DGB Group
De gevolgen van ontbossing voor industriële doeleinden hebben verstrekkende gevolgen en beïnvloeden tal van sectoren. Het heeft invloed op ...
de lokale gemeenschap
DGB ontwikkelt en beheert grootschalige projecten in verschillende landen, waaronder Kameroen, Oeganda en Kenia. We hebben in deze landen succesvolle herbebossingsinspanningen geïmplementeerd door samen te werken met <anchor>de lokale gemeenschap</anchor>, overheden, landeigenaren en investeerders om aangetaste bossen te herstellen, duurzame agroforestry-praktijken te bevorderen en training en middelen aan boeren te bieden. In Oeganda hielp DGB bijvoorbeeld bij het herstel van aangetaste bossen in de districten Hoima, Bulindi en Masindi in het westen van Oeganda. Dit leidde tot een grotere bosbedekking en een verbeterd leefgebied voor de Bulindichimpansees.

# Empowering local communities through    carbon projects

Carbon projects benefit local communities by improving access to resources, creating jobs, and preserving cultural heritage.

### Playing a vital role and offering a range of benefits

## Carbon projects: improving livelihoods

In the quest for sustainable solutions to environmental challenges, carbon projects have emerged as a tool to restore nature and creating a positive impact on local communities. From improving access to essential resources such as clean water and air to generating employment opportunities and preserving cultural heritage, carbon projects have the potential to play a vital role in the development of communities and improvement of livelihoods.

![IMG_7279-1](https://www.green.earth/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7279-1.jpg?width=1200&height=1200&name=IMG_7279-1.jpg)

## Carbon projects: improving livelihoods

![icon](https://www.green.earth/hubfs/Assets%20Dec%202021/icon.svg)

### Improved access to resources

One of the key benefits of carbon projects is their ability to improve access to essential resources such as clean water and air. In many rural areas of Africa and other developing countries, clean water and air are often scarce and can have a significant impact on public health and the local economy. Carbon projects help address this issue by investing in clean water and air initiatives, improving the quality of life for local communities.

![icon](https://www.green.earth/hubfs/Assets%20Dec%202021/icon.svg)

### Increased employment opportunities

Another important benefit of carbon projects is the creation of employment opportunities in the local area. These projects often require a significant amount of labour, which can be met by the local community. This can help to boost the local economy, reduce poverty, and improve the standard of living for residents. In addition, carbon projects can also create opportunities for education and training, providing valuable skills to local communities.

![icon](https://www.green.earth/hubfs/Assets%20Dec%202021/icon.svg)

### Preserving cultural heritage

Carbon projects also have the potential to play an important role in preserving cultural heritage and traditional practices. Many communities in Africa and other emerging countries have a rich cultural heritage and unique practices essential to their identity. Carbon projects can help to preserve these traditions by investing in initiatives that protect cultural heritage sites and support the preservation of traditional practices.

### Creating a more sustainable future

## Empowering communities

Carbon projects have the potential to play a vital role in the development of local communities and improvement of livelihoods.

By improving access to essential resources, creating employment opportunities, and preserving cultural heritage, these projects can help to empower communities and contribute to a more sustainable future.

It is therefore essential to support and invest in carbon projects like nature-based initiatives that prioritise the wellbeing of local communities along with biodiversity conservation. By doing so, we can help to create a brighter future for all.

## Insights from our projects

We are proud to prove, together with the project landowner, that quality, verified carbon farming from native forest conservation can provide a good economic alternative to deforestation. To avoid further deforestation in Kenya, we need solutions that can be implemented immediately, can be scaled, and are bankable.
