It is nice project and should be implemented at the earliest. These areas are without proper utilization in Pakistan and if forested they can be utilized efficiently as well as could help in the reduction of CO2.

I support this proposal because it seems me complete in all aspects and implementable as well as it is effective in the Green house gases reductions efficiently on long term basis.

Barani areas of Pakistan like Khushab District can serve as timber mine of Pakistan as well as carbon storage pools.

As we all know that Pakistan is the country with meager forest cover of 2.9%. So,to enhance vegetation cover, it is dire need of time to support such type of projects.

It is very nice and different piece of work in field of forestry.

Please consider:
Ectomycorrhizal Fungi

Ectomycorrhizal Fungi are, economically, one of the most important groups of fungi. ... Thus in forest management, if we do not manage for the mycorrhizal fungi

I Think a research on the assessment of carbon storage capacity of fast growing trees in the desertic/barani areas, where water is available, should be carried out in this project.

Well written document addresses all four points. Describes the feasibility, selects a set of items that would be implemented in a local area, and notes the impact on climate change. No supporting pictures in it though, which would help. Relatively small project at $65,000

This project will impact climate positively as well as will lower the poverty in these areas.

great project for the people of barani areas....of course...excellent for reducing CO2 in sustainable way

social forestry is an excellent way for carbon sequestration on sustainable basis

This proposal works on a very small scale of 100 ha, regarding planting eucalypts on degraded, very dry lands which are marginal in Thal desert, and salty.
Requires farmers to pay 20 percent of 1 acre planting costs + plant 2nd acre themselves. Are these costs and is this model feasible for these farmers in this context?
Relative to other proposals in the contest, this proposal had low climate benefits.
