Methodology for Estimating Reductions of GHG Emissions from Mosaic Deforestation

Description:  The methodology is for estimating and monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of project activities that reduce mosaic deforestation.  Carbon stock enhancement of degraded and secondary forests that would be deforested in absence of the RED project activity is also included in this methodology.  The underlying conceptual approach of this methodology is based on drafts of the AFOLU Guidance Document of the Voluntary Carbon Standard.  The methodologies is currently being used by a number of projects around the world, including the Madagascar Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor Project.
