Niscani, Republic of Moldova: Forest plantations as a solution to climate change adaptation
Share:
The village of Niscani (population 1,950) launched an innovative forest plantation project that’s transforming their landscape and future.
Key achievements:
- Planted 7 hectares of diverse tree species
- Combined funding from IFAD, National Ecological Fund and local resources
- United the entire community in planting efforts
- Created new opportunities for local beekeeping
- Helping combat soil erosion that costs Moldova’s economy €157M annually
Why it matters? With only 11% of Moldova’s territory covered by forests (compared to the EU’s 37.7%), initiatives like Niscani’s are crucial for climate resilience. Their project demonstrates how small communities can make a significant environmental impact.
