6 Community Payments for Ecosystem Services in Patako | Plan Vivo PDD 2012 Assisted natural regeneration Participants will assist regenerating seedlings to become established and regeneration areas will be fenced with living fences (“haie vive” in French) to prevent seedlings being damaged by livestock grazing. Some seedlings will also be planted to enrich and assist natural regeneration processes and increase the establishment rate of economically important species. Once tree planting and management activities are underway, it will be possible to engage communities in activities that directly protect and reduce degradation of the central Patako Forest. A partnership and joint management plan in which responsibilities are shared between communities and authorities from the Forest Service will be required for this project activity. Native tree species Planting native species will help to maintain and conserve biodiversity and will provide other benefits, including: • Fruits, leaves, bark and roots for food and medicine for local use • Products for sale where there is a national market in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries • Improved soil fertility through nitrogen-‐fixing • Erosion control through rooting systems that help bind soil • Fodder for livestock • Fuel wood that will be harvested sustainably 4.4. Description of the Plan Vivo Technical Specifications The afforestation and agroforestry Plan Vivo technical specification is applicable to degraded land around Patako forest. Agroforestry, which includes intercropping and boundary planting, takes place on cropland. Afforestation, which is the establishment of small plantations, and assisted natural regeneration take place on degraded, neglected, or previous agricultural land (Table 1). Table 1: Technical specification Title Type of activity Agroforestry -‐ Intercropping Agroforestry -‐ Boundary planting Tree planting Tree planting Objectives Brief description Biodiversity conservation and increased soil fertility and crop yields Biodiversity conservation and land demarcation, firewood, fruit, shade, improved soil fertility, Nitrogen fixing tree species planted at a low density throughout an area of cultivated land. Crops continue to be grown in the area and the nitrogen fixing trees improve soil productivity Trees planted along the perimeter of individual farms or communal lands

Duration of project activities and crediting period Forest plantations with a variety of native species Assisted natural regeneration to increase the stocking of valuable species. It involves enrichment planting and managing natural regeneration by fencing off areas to prevent grazing This project has a crediting period of 30 years (2012-‐2042). The payment period is 10 years. 4.6. Carbon benefits of project activities For each activity, the certifiable carbon benefit has been estimated using a CO2FIX model. The certifiable carbon benefit is the carbon sequestration of the activity over 30 years. The sequestration potential is treated over and above the baseline figure of 8tCO2 per ha, and the risk buffer of 10% (Table 2) is subtracted. Please see the afforestation and agroforestry technical specification for details.

Process and requirements for registering plan vivos Project scenario (t CO2e/ha) Plan vivos are land management plans which are designed to generate ecosystem services. Arlomom has worked with participants to ensure that the participant plan vivos meet the participant livelihood needs and that the activities outlined in the plan vivo do not endanger food
