FAUTAPO - NOT ONE TREE LESS  (2024-2026) FAUTAPO - INTE ETT TRÄD MINDRE (2024-2026 ) Project: Environmental protection, climate change adaptation and mitigation and sustainable economic development in Bolivia: "NOT ONE TREE LESS" Projekt: Miljöskydd, anpassning till och begränsning av klimatförändringar och hållbar ekonomisk utveckling i Bolivia: "INTE ETT TRÄD MINDRE" Overall project objective:

Contribute to the protection of the environment, the conservation of forests and adaptation and mitigation to climate change and a sustainable economic development of the Amazon region, through the strengthening of sustainable production models, public-private multi-stakeholder platforms and the empowerment of women and men leaders of productive family units.

The main lines of actions are as follows:

1) Conservation, Preservation and Restoration of Amazon Forests

- Contribute to the conservation and protection of 152,000 ha of Amazon forest, with the implementation of 400 ha of Successional Agroforestry Systems (SAS) with species of commercial and food value, in forest buffer areas in 5 municipalities in Pando.

- Intensified land use with 150 ha of sustainable managed regenerative grazing, including practices of plot rotation and rest periods, efficient use of pastures and increased animal load without the need to deforest new areas and avoiding the use of logging and burning.

- Conservation of native forests and the restoration of degraded areas.

-Research on carbon stock sequestration in SAS and regenerative grazing, as a contribution to climate change mitigation.

2) Sustainable production models with biodiversity and profitability

- Articulate the SAS and regenerative grazing strategies to 400 families for the overcoming of multidimensional poverty.

- Increase production opportunities and access to national and international markets.

- Facilitate the collection and transformation of products from agroforestry systems through the strengthening of current producer associations and their articulation with the different business and commercial arms.

- Contribute to the innovation and quality of products, to reach dynamic markets through the application of new processes and the introduction of new techniques and technologies for the establishment of successful initiatives.

3) Strengthening public-private multi-stakeholder platforms

- Establish a consensual mechanism in a public-private multi-stakeholder platform, to seek synergies, manage knowledge and exchange experiences, through close coordination between all the organizations present in the region.

- Capacity building to develop partnerships with the public or private sector as "assets" for environmental forest services.

- Support the development of relevant regulations for the comprehensive planning of the territory.

4) Women's empowerment with a multidimensional approach to poverty

- Comprehensive training of 400 families, 60% of whom are women leaders of Productive Family Units (with technical and technological capacities for production, entrepreneurial skills and personal skills and the exercise of rights).

- Contribute to reducing gender inequality, violence, adolescent pregnancy and increasing access to services and opportunities for the population.

- Technical training based on production protocols feeds the training programs considering the positive discrimination of women protectors who take care of the forest to ensure its sustainability.
