About Forest-PLUS in 53, Lodi Estate, New Delhi

The Partnership for Land Use Science (Forest-PLUS) is a five-year USAID-funded program to help India achieve low carbon economic growth by developing, field-testing, and institutionalizing innovative tools, techniques, and methods to yield benefits in climate change mitigation, biodiversity protection, environmental services, and livelihoods from India’s forested landscapes. In achieving these goals, Forest-PLUS will help create an environment in India enabling REDD+ to reach meaningful scale and impact. Forest-PLUS has established demonstration landscapes in Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim, representing four important and distinctive forest types where it tests in practice the effectiveness and appropriateness of its approach and associated technologies, tools, and methods. These field tests inform an iterative improvement of Forest-PLUS design and activities. Forest-PLUS implementation is closely coordinated with the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC), with State Forest Departments, and with a variety of other stakeholder organizations.
