صف الآثار على المكان (التأثيران الرئيسيان حسب الفئة)

The selling of woody and non-woody products from Ngitiri leads to improved income levels. In addition the availability of fuelwood in Ngitiri areas contribute to the saving on time used for fuelwood collection.
The restriction on use of Ngitiri and planting of trees leads to the regeneration of natural vegetation that leades to improved biodiversity and supply of woody and non-woody products
Regeneration of vegetation in Ngitiri areas leads to improved vegetation cover which in turn restores degraded lands. As a result of this, soil erosion is reduced and micro climate improved.|

صف الأثرين الرئيسيين خارج الموقع (أي التي لا تحدث في الموقع ولكن في المناطق المحيطة)

The improved vegetation cover in Ngitiri can lead to reduced sedimentation of water bodies found in the area due to reduced soil erosion.

الأثر على التنوع البيولوجي والتغير المناخي

اشرح الأسباب:

it impacts on biodiversity due to the regeneration of vegetation cover. The regenerated vegetation cover and planted trees improves the biodiversity of the area.
Increase in carbon stock due to tree planting and regeneration of vegetation which restores both above and ground carbon.
