Community-Based Terrestrial Natural Resources Management in Mbeliling Forest Area, Tanjung Kerita Mese, West Manggarai District, NTT

Build on the the resources initiative made by the villages in the Mbeliling landscape in Indonesia. The local community has adopted a village resources management agreement that stipulates principles and measures toward the sustainable use of its natural resources. The project will further mainstream sustainability principles into farming and other land use practices among residents in three villages. In addition, the project will seek to improve local livelihoods through sustainable and productive economic activities.
