Description

"Community lands can generate significant social, economic, and environmental benefits for communities and society. They are a primary source of livelihood, nutrition, income, and employment for Indigenous Peoples and other communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere. Community forestlands provide a suite of ecosystem-service benefits, including carbon sequestration, pollination, and nutrient retention."
