the importance of culture in carbon forestry in timor-leste

importansia kultura ba kuda ai hun ba Kréditu Karbonu

about the filmI

In Timor-Leste’s Matebian mountain range, farmers participating in the Baguia region’s Ho Musan Ida carbon forestry program grow trees to sell carbon credits to the international market. The reforestation initiative is locally founded and controlled. It is built upon lisan, the deep social relationships people have with each other, their environment and their ancestors.
