Breve descripción de la práctica óptima

Villagers identified the land for work and set up management systems. Then they contacted the Forest Department to get their help for the plan. The villagers were involved with physical work, such as fencing, pit digging, trench, boundary wall and plantation work. plantation of local species raised.|

¿En base de qué criterios o indicadores (no relacionados con la Estrategia) se ha considerado la práctica propuesta y la tecnología correspondiente como ‘óptima’?

Consensus evolved during the National Consultation process.

Principales problemas que trata la práctica óptima

Due to ignorance at the community level, uncontrolled grazing and tree felling has accelerated the degradation of the area. |The access and use related conflicts further aggravated the resource exploitation problems.|Lack of any management system for these resources also contributed to the degradation of the area. |Reduction in vegetative cover, increased soil erosion and less production

Explique los problemas específicos de la degradación de las tierras que trata la práctica óptima.

Encroachment and degradation of village common lands- particularly grazing lands

Especifique los objetivos de la práctica óptima.

To evolve system for management of village resources|To increase productivity of land and also increase fodder availability|To set up arrangements for maintenance and sustainability of the area

Breve descripción de las principales actividades, por objetivo

Developed pasture land in 79 hectares. At the foot of hillsides, water harvesting system has also been created.|Resolved community and inter-village conflict by using revenue land records and clearing the rights/ownership
Helped community to liason with Forest Department for physical activity work
Prepared community for self management on their resources

Breve descripción y especificaciones técnicas de la tecnología

Sensitization of local community about common resources, their roles & responsibilities. Construction of protection wall to address encroachment, participatory planning for soil & water conservation and regeneration of biomass. Conflict resolution, equity and benefit sharing are ensured. |

Sí

¿de qué manera?

• Consultas
• Planteamientos basados en la participación

Describa los impactos in situ (los dos principales impactos por categoría).

People's interest in animal husbandry increased and milk availability also increased.
• When the work starts, the production level is nothing or minimum. After one year when the land produced fodder, people got 2000 pullas of grass fodder during the first time. In 1997, after 3 years, the community got 9480 pullas. Currently they have been able to get 24,000 pullas yearly. |
Reduced Soil erosion and land productivity increased; Tree Canopy area increased.
People saved money, which they have spent on the fodder. Each family saved almost Rs 1000.00 per year. |
Run off is stopped and protection of top soil layer; Degraded land became cultivated.
Before, the land which is degraded, has now become available or converted for pastureland. This has helped reduce soil erosion and increase the number of trees|

Describa los dos principales impactos fuera del lugar (por ejemplo, que no se registran en el lugar, pero sí en las zonas próximas).

Ten villages learned them for pastureland development and about 570 hectares of ten villages’ land have also been treated.
Dispute around three adjoining boundaries of villages were resolved ;Pastureland development activity increased in the adjoining three villages

Impacto en la diversidad biológica y el cambio climático

Justifíquelo:

• Peoples do not cut trees during lopping, natural regeneration continues.
• Water conservation is increased in land and mountain during the rainfall.
• Moisture retention is maintained for a long time in the land.
• Moisture retention increased in the soil.
• Evaporation becomes less through biomass.  
• Heat of rock is reduced.
• Birds provided place for stay.
• Reduced Soil erosion.
• Layer of soil has increased and plantation in the area.
• Productivity of land is increased.

En relación con los recursos humanos

Through united efforts from the stakeholders, any task can be accomplished. Equal opportunity and equal participation in decision making should be ensured while undertaking the tasks.
|As the productivity of the land increases, stakeholder participation increases; positive association of stakeholders, thus, ensures sustainability.

En relación con los aspectos financieros

By better practices of our community resources, we can get more production in minimum expenditure and its regular.  And whole community get benefited from profit or production. |

En relación con los aspectos técnicos

Through regeneration activity we can preserve and promote our resources. |Management gives to community hand, we should give outer support. And play a role at the one limit.
