- Project descriptionThe project is being implemented on 8119 hectares of severely degraded land that has lost much of its soil productivity, forest cover and biodiversity. The overall goal of the project is to rehabilitate the degraded land and watershed catchments and to improve the livelihoods of local communities by increasing soil fertility and by providing an additional source of income from generated carbon credits. Project activities include planting of indigenous trees and introduction of agroforestry practices and a technique known as Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). FMNR is a technique that involves the regeneration of native trees that grow naturally within planted fields of crops if protected and managed properly.
