Problem Statement
The lands in the Dorimon traditional area are being degraded at an alarming rate. The degradation is caused by unsustainable farming practices, wild fires, felling of trees for use as fuel wood and for making charcoal and ( ... )
azing by cattle. The issue of overgrazing by cattle and more particularly the influx of cattle brought in by Fulani herdsmen from nearby Burkina Faso has also compounded the problem of overgrazing making it difficult for the soils in the area to regenerate so as to regain its lost nutrients. The situation has resulted in flooding and erosion of farm lands during the rainy season, thereby silting

Historically the land currently occupied by MNR was farmland where the intensity of cattle grazing was high. The vegetation on the land was incapable of recovering due to this overgrazing, leading to widespread degradation. Land degradation is a ( ... )
s problem in MNR and is in urgent need of being addressed. This degradation is observed in two main forms; bush encroachment and soil erosion. Bush encroachment has removed the natural veldt of palatable grass species, whilst certain invading species, including Acacia mellifera and Dichrostachys cinerea, provide poor browsing for game animals. These unpalatable invasive plants out-compete natural
