The project works towards enhancing the land quality and vegetation cover so as to curb the problem of climate change with specific objectives of rehabilitating the sparsely stocked vegetation cover through reforestation, and area closure; rehabilitating and conserving degraded ecosystem through implementation of different physical soil and water conservation measures and flood protection mechanisms; introducing and promoting improved stoves that can reduce both deforestation and the consumption of fuel wood; creating alternative income source and improving productivity including women whose livelihood largely depended on fuel wood/ charcoal selling and subsistence farming, and strengthening and building the overall capacity of the Association through training and experience sharing.
