Forrest is very important when we are talking about climate change. Forrest is one of the areas of the sector that mitigates climate change and also to adapt to climate change. Forrest is very important for biodiversity. As we all know, it consists of the flora and fauna which is very important for protecting biodiversity and also for carbon sequitration. We talk about the gases that are emitted into the atmosphere. Forrest capture all gases that are emitted. Forrest is very important when we talk about mitigate climate change. We need forrest that captures those gases that are emitted, especially carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere. Red plus programming Fiji commenced in the initial discussion in 2009 where Fiji has been engaging in negotiation under the UNFCCCC. We are discussing how red plus can be one of those areas that can be used for mitigating climate change. We know that throughout the world it consists of 15% of emissions that are coming from forest through forest deforestation and forest degradation. However, that is why Fiji that we have engaged in red plus program so that we can be able to reduce our emissions from the forest sector and also can be able to mitigate other sectors as well forrest. In Fiji we have submitted a proposal, the emissions reduction proposal to world bank under the forest carbon partnership facility. It was accepted in 2014 and the latter of the incident was signed in 2015 where Fiji received 3.8 million for financing its red plus readiness program. So 3.8 million was given by the world bank to conduct its red plus readiness program implementation from 2015 to 2020. At the same time Fiji is producing its emissions reduction program which we will identify through the reports from our emissions reduction program the interventions Fiji is going to make from 2020 to 2024 interventions through the forest reducing emissions in the forest. Fiji has also developed its red plus policy in 2010 and also has conducted awareness on red plus. At the moment Fiji has a pallet site in Emal which consists of 7,000 hectares where its conducting its red plus activities and there are lessons learned from the pallet sites which will enable the red plus implementation for the national. Fiji is one of those countries that are working on red plus that are conducting the national red plus program and also the sub-national program. Our pallet site consists of 7,000 hectares in Novosa we have 7,000 hectares of the Abousa Emal where our red plus activities are being undertaken. Prior to the work that is conducted at Emalu we seek the approval of the landowners that we are going to conduct the red plus and their studies that were undertaken on the important specific of the areas which includes social studies looking at rare species of birds and animals in the area and working with Emalu landowners in developing a land use that will benefit them in terms of the future work that needs to be done on the pallet site. At the moment we are working with Matangalia Malu on looking at what alternative livelihoods that are going to be conducted to reduce the overdependence on forests. We have developed land use and encouraged them to work with them to conduct real forestation programs which means planting of species trees, also some of those tree species that provide food security and also looking at how they can be able to plant food that will benefit them. There are activities as well that are conducted at the pallet site which includes beekeeping, production of honey, also they have benefited through the planting of vegetables where we work with the Department of Hungerculture in conducting agroforestry in those areas. That they think and also plant from the land use to conduct agroforestry projects. Also we have looked at the conservation of areas where they have specific animals. At the moment the area is significant for the Nani insect which emerged after 80 years of incubation. So the area at Emalu is very important in conserving these rare species in feed and also at the pallet site. They also conserve the forest in terms of preserving it and also looking at ways other alternatives where they can benefit from the forest with partnering with the Red Plus project so that beyond 2020 there is opportunity for the carbon funds. At the moment we are working with them in building nurseries, working with them in awareness on reducing fires that are often burnt while looking for new areas for hunger culture. We have also looked at ways of assisting them with fencing of animals that roam around in their villages. There are a lot of opportunities or results that we have seen over the years. Before the engagement of the Red Plus project there has been a lot of degradation from land degradation that has been planted over the years. After the Red Plus project they have now benefited through the hunger culture products. They are vegetable, they have now abundance of cabbages, of tomatoes and they planted sandalwood as well to be able to include agroforestry in their programs. After the fires they were now found out that the reduction of fires and burning of grasslands after the awareness on strategies to put in place to reduce fires, they have found that most of the areas have regrown, a lot of regrowth back into degraded grasslands. Also they have identified specific areas that were very important in terms of the fish that is coming out from the rivers in terms of the nani that is found in the areas of forestry managed to conserve.
