Agroforestry: perspective and possibility
The project will occur in the village of Kashar, and it aims at restoring agroforestry tradition and reforesting a hilly slope with some natural, rare, and vulnerable species of trees in the area. Some 900 trees will be planted in the area, while some other 600 young trees will be provided for other reforestation activities of that SGP could support. The project will serve as a practical model of economic harmonization between man and nature. It foresees activities for reforestation and restoration of rare and endangered plant species of the area, as well as capacity building for rural communities, by means of community meetings for brainstorming, and exchange visits with nearby communities. Another objective of this project, which goes beyond the funding from GEF/SGP, is to restore biodiverse combination of fruit trees and grapes, which has historically been observed. The implementation of this project will require preparation of new saplings and the community members agree to set up a tree nursery at an area of 1.5 ha for this purpose.
