Conserve the 3,300 hectare Bururi Forest Nature Reserve in Burundi through improved stakeholder engagement. Promote partnerships between the formal park management agency, Institute National pour l'Environment et la Conservation de la nature (INECN), and local civil society organizations so that the latter may gain formal management rights and responsibilities. This entails creation of site support groups, reforestation, promotion of the use of fuel-efficient wood stoves, and promotion of beekeeping as an alternative livelihood.
