Slide 4

There are #degraded areas but some are extremely degraded. This picture is taken in the degraded #grazing land shared between two villages of Lengijave and Ilkurot in Arumeru district-Arusha region, Tanzania. The area is over 2000 Ha and negatively impacted by ongoing prolonged grazing throughout the year. Gravel rock quarry exacerbate the situation and leaves #sinkholes that are dangerous to #people and #livestock. Adding #climatechange impact make the situation worse and the area may be turning into a #desert in the next decade. #GreenKilimo works with the local communities in two villages to implement #assistednaturalregeneration of pasture and influence the communities and local government including companies that source their construction raw materials in these areas to contribute in effort to re-fill the sink holes.

Slide 8

Communal grassland improvement benefit both people and wildlife but drought season resulting from climate change endanger pastoralist livelihoods. Some of GreenKilimo’s initiative target to support pastoralists establish individual pastureland in private farming areas to enable them cope with climate change risks by diversifying access of fodder for their livestock, gain Agripreneurship lessons and reduce overreliance to communal resources thereby reducing grazing pressure and degradation.
