The project will improve biodiversity and the income of 2,550 households living around the Mio, Sanekuy and Safienso forests in the Segou region of Mali. This will be achieved by strengthening decentralised forest governance at the regional and national level, expanding the successful approach used by Tree Aid at the local level in previous and ongoing projects. As a result, 26,700ha of forest will be under sustainable management. 10,000ha of forest, agricultural and pastoral land will benefit from restoration activities.
