Strengthen Community Conservation for Biodiversity Protection through Agro-Forestry and improving techniques to control bush fires and sustainable farming
The project is to build local capacity in management of National Protected are of Mount Tabwemasana to cope with closure to COVID 19 impact local farmer?s income and to apply some techniques to control bush fire and improved food security through the practice of syntrophic agriculture in grassland with planting food, timber, fuel tree trees in a water catchment area in a 200 meters buffer zone. This will be done by the community in order to do land management and to regenerate flora in an open grassland area as buffer to bush fire and keep wild beast out from human dwelling, conserve biodiversity and maintain community water supply source and catchment. The community will be trained to apply improvement of livestock management to avoid roaming loose livestock to becoming feral and damage to garden crops, with building proper resilient fencing.
