project being; Enhancing the knowledge of residents of the Settlement of Arlington, Rural Montserrado County, on climate change as means of mitigating the Effects. The project proposal responds to the survey of the project carried out by SDRCL in the Settlement of Arthington during which time the SDRCL discovered illegal activities, especially felling, and burning of farms, are still being carried out by residents of the communities. Almost all of the farmers have noticed a decline in high forest in and around the Settlement; they attribute this to intensive farming (shifting cultivation), an increase in coal making, and bushfires, increasing population density and intensified agriculture activities.

The Project will intervene in the five clans of the Settlement by conducting awareness on the causes and impacts of climate change, set up club each of the schools to raise awareness on climate change mitigation, train subsistent farmers on adapting agro-ecological farming methodology and by the distribution of pigs as alternative livelihood which is expected to divert residents from destroying the forest for char coal production in order to feed their families.
