Rehabilitation of areas degraded by strip mining, through returning stockpiled topsoil and transplanting of indigenous species, to promote revegetation.
Old motor tyres and/or vegetation along contours.
To rehabilitate/stabilise distorted wetlands as close as possible to its original state/function.
Stone walls and re-vegetation (planting of indigenous trees) = Rehabilitation
Combination of field demarcation and erosion protection by grass strips
Conservation agriculture included aspects such as crop rotation, mulching and no-tillage.
Rotational grazing is a management system based on the subdivision of the grazing area into a number of enclosures and the successive grazing of these paddocks by animals in a rotation so that not all the veld (grazing area) is grazed simultaneously
The vetiver grass is planted on the contour and also in other situations such as along stream banks and minor farm roads to form a vegetative barrier and protect the land from surface erosion.
Through the declaration of Ayora to a forest intervention area (ZAU) and the implementation of the pilot project of the PSP, a preventive silviculture was promoted through the establishment of a firebreak network.
