Status
Approved
22 April 2014
The module provides procedures to estimate activity shifting leakage in project activities where there may be displacement of grazing activity due to the adopting sustainable grassland management practices from the project areas to areas outside the project area. The module provides step-wise procedures to determine whether the lands to which grazing will be relocated are identified or unidentified. It quantifies the GHG emissions due to leakage in identified and unidentified grasslands, forests and/or croplands to which livestock may be relocated and details the parameters that must be monitored by the project.
