General
One of the negative impacts of uncontrolled deforestation within the Western Caucasus World Natural Heritage Site is that adjacent villages are being ever more frequently affected by flooding and landslides. The project combines protection and sustainable use of the remaining Nordmann fir forests through the designation of a buffer zone with sustainable forest management and exploitation of renewable energy sources. In addition to avoiding climate-changing emissions, this will guarantee a long-term income source for the population and reduce its exposure to impacts from climate change.
