The project aims to support the further development of the newly created Ovitoto Conservancy, through: identifying and developing land management strategies that provide for sustainable grazing practices and use of tree resources for cooking, building and other uses; protection of key watersheds and access to natural water sources; reduction of erosion; identification of areas of biodiversity importance and the implementation of plans for their protection and possible limited tourist access; evaluation and piloting of alternative technologies that reduce the reliance on natural resources; and investigate ecologially sustainable income generating opportunities.
