WHERE Comoros
Summary
Deforestation on Anjouan (Comoros) threatens both biodiversity and human livelihoods. Conventional approaches to address this have been largely unsuccessful. We will draw on a decade of experience from Anjouan and insights from international research on conservation agreements (including a unique Randomized Control Trial of a Bolivian scheme) to design an innovative, conservation agreements approach to forest restoration ready for scaling up. Unusually, robust impact evaluation of outcomes will be built-in; contributing to
a culture change in conservation.
