Conservation and Development of Ecosystems of Jan River
Target Population/Location of project:
3,876 people from 454 families, the majority of whom depend upon small-scale agriculture alongside the Jan River ? an integrated ecosystem of the Mekhong River Basin. The project aims to tackle threats to basin biodiversity posed by deforestation and chemical-intensive agriculture.
Planned activities:
1. Conduct water quality monitoring activities, and compile resources inventories
2. Launch re-vegetation activities with native and medicinal plant species
3. Promote chemical-free, highland agriculture
4. Demonstrate production of biogas from kitchen waste
Anticipated outputs:
1. Local knowledge curriculum re: biodiversity conservation compiled
2. Project members display increased conservation ethic, and capacity to act on it
3. Agriculture production systems undergo positive adaptation
4. Savings group created
