Carbon sinks in Nicaragua

• Low coffee prices and resulting rural poverty are accelerating rates of deforestation in the coffee production area as well as within the buffer zone surrounding the core of the Biosphere Reserve of Bozawas in Northern Nicaragua, the most important in Central America.
• The project aims to measure the carbon contribution of reforestation programs in the coffee regions and establish economic incentives to the growers based on the volume of the certified carbon credits generated.
