About the project
The Pastures, Conservation, Climate Action (PCCA) project helps to develop and implement new approaches to restore degraded grasslands in rural Mongolia through making important contributions to nomadic herders’ wellbeing.
This is a community-driven project developed under the Plan Vivo Carbon Standard (PV Climate) and is managed and administered by MSRM at three different sites in Mongolia. The project takes a ‘carbon plus’ approach, emphasising the livelihood benefits of the project as well as the conservation of a globally important biodiversity heritage and a range of ecosystem services. This is alongside contributing carbon sequestration through improved rangeland management.
The project emphasises and enshrines fair and equitable access, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable, by using the specific project management plans and agreements developed by the participating herder groups.
Through Plan Vivo, I’ve learned that to help reduce global warming, we must avoid overgrazing, protect our saxaul trees, and manage our pastures responsibly. ... The project has supported and encouraged us in these efforts, which has had a positive impact on our livelihoods.
