Breve descrição da melhor prática

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.|

Com base em quais critérios e/ou indicadores (não relacionados com a Estratégia) a prática proposta e a tecnologia correspondente foram considerados como "melhores"?

Consensus evolved during the National Consultation process.

Principais problemas abordados pelas melhores práticas

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

Esboçar problemas específicos de degradação do solo abordados pelas melhores práticas

Encroachment and degradation of village common lands- particularly grazing lands

Especificar os objetivos das melhores práticas

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 descrição das principais atividades, 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 descrição e especificações técnicas da tecnologia

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. |

• Abordagens participativas

Descreva os impactos no local (os dois principais impactos por categoria)

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|

Descreva os dois principais impactos fora do local (isto é, não ocorrendo no local, mas nas áreas circunvizinhas)

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 sobre a biodiversidade e a mudança climática

Explique as razões:

• 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.
