The objective of the SLFM project is to secure the flow of multiple ecosystem services, including carbon storage and sequestration and water provisioning services, while ensuring ecosystem resilience to climate change. The project will engineer a paradigm shift from the current unsustainable practices to sustainable land and forest management practice. The SLFM project envisages enhancing carbon storage potential of forests and pastures integrated into forestry and pasture land-use planning and decision-making. The project(s) shall address barriers to sustainable pasture and forest management. In doing so they will support measures to mitigate CC such as managing natural forests to emphasize natural regeneration through improved grazing and wood collecting in forests. It will avoid GHG emissions caused by degradation, increase sequestration through enhanced biomass and improve the productivity of forests and pasturelands. This would result in short and long-term global benefits.
