Sustainable Land Management and Biogas Demonstration Project in Chaskhar, Mongar to promote sustainable land management as a deliberate means towards environment conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development through adoption of stall feeding and reduction of unproductive cattle population."
In order to safeguard biodiversity of the nearby forest, environmental degradation due to overgrazing will be reduced through adoption of stall feeding and reduction of unproductive cattle population. By promotion of biogas technology, the use of fuel wood is expected to reduce thereby so many trees are saved from destruction. By promoting and supporting sustainable land management practices, the loss of topsoil through soil erosion, landslip, gully and ravine formation and landslide will be greatly reduced or rehabilitated. The planting of local species trees and fodder trees in the degraded area will increase the tree coverage and enhance carbon stocking ability of the area. The training of farmers in group concept, sustainable land management, use of biogas, proper irrigation water management and others will enhance their appreciation on the importance of environment conservation and protection as way of ensuring sustained economic growth and rural livelihood.
