The Green Amayaga Forest Landscape Restoration in the Amayaga region (FLR Mayaga) project is a ground-breaking six-year project initiative that will afforest the degraded ecosystem and restore the natural forests of four districts of Amayaga in Rwanda’s southern Province Districts of Gisagara, Nyanza, Ruhango and Kamonyi.

Implemented by Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), the project aims to promote biodiversity, fostering ecosystem services, increasing agriculture productivity and reducing the vulnerability of people and ecosystems to the adverse effects of climate change.
