Summary
The project will develop sustainable livelihoods options from native plants and fungi from Mount Mulanje Biosphere Reserve as alternatives to current practices that damage mountain ecosystems, reducing biodiversity and livelihood opportunities. The project partners will work with businesses and local communities to access local, national and international markets, including through certified sustainable products. Community co-operatives and a social enterprise will be established and supported to manage market opportunities, and degraded, co-managed land will be restored by replenishing over-exploited economic species.
