\u201cI will appeal to you to work towards attracting good things to your community.\u00a0 The carbon credit will come at the right time, what you need is to work hard by protecting your forest. God has given you wisdom to go to school and come back to help your community. You must not have all the money before you assist your community because knowledge is wisdom. After this programme, UN people are coming to this community for evaluation. It is a privilege for your community and when they come they might have an over sight of your community\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ama advised them to form more Community Base Organisations (CBO\u2019s), to attract development to the areas adding that there should also be massive support for community leaders and young people looking for ways to develop their vicinity.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the community members and trainees appealed for quick release of the carbon credit fund promised by United Nations to reduce unemployment among the youths and women who depend on the forest for their livelihood. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p>\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/un-redd-trains-communities-seeks-forest-protection\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United Nations Information Centre The United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation &hellip; <a title=\"UN-REDD trains communities, seeks forest protection\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/un-redd-trains-communities-seeks-forest-protection\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">UN-REDD trains communities, seeks forest protection<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7939,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[1399,41,15282],"class_list":["post-7938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-development","tag-property","tag-ross"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1200px-Flag_of_the_United_Nations.svg_.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3758,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/group-trains-550-on-climate-change-in-cross-river-state\/","url_meta":{"origin":7938,"position":0},"title":"Group trains 550 on climate change in Cross River State","author":"Amazing Property","date":"April 24, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Worried by the level of deforestation and ignorance on climate change, a non-governmental organisation has trained about 550 persons on how to\u00a0sustain the forest and its environment in Cross River State.
