2 Co-Benefits: Climate mitigation Late-successional habitats Watershed Protection Revenue benefiting institutions and communities Photo Credit: William Keeton
3 Develop capacity in western Ukraine for forest carbon projects. Ultimate purpose: incentivize sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, and communitybased sustainable economic development. Photo Credit: William Keeton
4 A project ready portfolio of assets : Analytical resources Forest inventory data, Geographic Information Systems data Regionally calibrated growth and yield simulation models Estimated additionality and credit value for: Close-to-nature silviculture Avoided degradation of primary (or virgin ) forests Institutional mechanisms: Involvement of community-based organization Revenue sharing or benefits Partnering of international investors, donors, and funding agencies with non -governmental organizations and institutions, such as the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve and Ukrainian State Forestry Enterprises
5 Proposal for Demonstration Project: Feasibility analysis Project type(s) Project site(s) Stakeholders and Partners Methodologies, data, and analysis Institutions and communities Environmental and social co-benefits Photo Credit: William Keeton

Freeman, and P. Hostert Evaluating the remote sensing and inventory-based estimation of biomass in the western Carpathians. Remote Sensing 3:
15 Carbon Project Options: Afforestation (not historically forested) Reforestation (historically forested but not currently) REDD (Reduced Emissions from Degradation and Deforestation Improved Forest Management (IFM) Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) Logged to Protected Forests (LtPF) Low to Highly Productive Forests (LtPH) Extended Rotation Age (ERA) Others to be developed
