May 26, 2016 was the official start date of the EU Project (ENRTP) “Strengthening Financial Sustainability and Biodiversity in the National Reserve of Gilè”. The launch event took place in Maputo in which the MITADER and the EU Delegation attended. This is a partner project in which CarbonSink, COSV, the Department of Zambesia of MITADER and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the IGF, the University Eduardo Mondlane, the University of Florence, and Parco Natura Viva, all take a part of.

The project's lifetime is four years and is financed by the European Union. The project focuses on the introduction of new financial mechanisms to protect biodiversity in the Natural Reserve of Gilé, in Northern Mozambique.
After months of meticulous planning for this project, in the month of October 2016, the on-site research started. Antonio Guiso from CarbonSink travelled to Gilé, Mozambique, to start the baseline of the project. In the period that he stayed in Gilé, 100 families were asked to answer a survey with questions like, for example: Where they cook, what they use to cook, how many times a day they cook, how long it takes them to cook, etc. This information gathered, will help CarbonSink select the appropriate efficient cookstove for this area adapting it to the environment, customs, economy, and culture of these families in need.
