Project Details
Description
This project aims to unravel the demand for and elicit the diverse values of regulating, material and non-material NCP expressed by the main stakeholder groups at Kilimanjaro. To address the main objective, we will addres three specific objectives:
1. to unravel the demand for regulating, material and non-material beneficial NCP and for mitigating the impact of detrimental NCP by the main stakeholder groups at Kilimanjaro and to assess the trends of this demand;
2. to elicit the diverse non-monetary values of regulating, material and non-material NCP expressed by the main stakeholder groups at Kilimanjaro.
3. to determine to what extent the demand and values for regulating, material and non-material NCP are shaped by the preservation of ILK held by original peoples in the area, i.e. Chagga people and coffee farmers.
