Background
Mining operations destroy forest habitats and negatively impact on wildlife (WRM, 2004).   First survey before the forest was cleared: a total of 22 amphibians species, 9 reptiles species (7 snakes and 2 tortoises), 79 species of birds and 12 species of mammals were confirmed to be present.

Background
Defined in Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, allows Non-Annex 1 countries to achieve sustainable development and contribute to the objective of the UNFCCC which is to prevent dangerous Climate Change and assist Annex 1 countries to achieve compliance with their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments. It allows countries with reduction or emission-limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex 1 Party) to implement an emission-reduction project in developing countries. CDM allows for emissions reduction and removal.

Background
The new National Forest Plantation Development Programme (NFPDP) was launched in January 2010. It entailed nationwide establishment and maintenance of plantations in degraded forest reserves and outside forest reserves. In 2011, the MLNR engaged the services of independent verifiers to assess the performance of the programme after one year of implementation.
