Hello, and a warm welcome to Oddar Meanchey Quarterly's first edition! We have lots of exciting news for you, the most important being the approval of the projects REDD+ methodology by the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS).
Brief Highlights:
Birdlife International completed a 30-day field study at Sorng Rokavorn, Prey Srong, Andong Bor,
Romdoul Veasna and Sangkrous Preychheu community forestry areas. This was the first extensive scientific assessment of biodiversity ever conducted in the area. Some of the important HCV (High Conservation Value) findings include the Great Slaty Woodpecker (Mulleripicus pulverulentus), the Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus) and the Greater Adjutant (Leptoptilos dubius). Pact is currently finalizing a social assessment which provides local community members with an important opportunity to provide input into the project design document (PDD) that is currently being finalized. As part of the assessment, between September and October 2010, 294 households were surveyed by CDAand Pact staff, while13 villages were involved in a series of participatory rural appraisals whereby CF participants provided critical information on the drivers of deforestation within their CFs.
