2. Descrição da abordagem de GST

2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

In the mountainous conditions of Tajikistan the main source of fodder for livestock is accumulated in remote pastures, which are located high in the mountains and are classified as summer pastures. Improving access with building infrastructure (roads and bridges) to these remote pastures as a main source of fodder for livestock during summer period will decrease burden on pastures close to the village and will help rehabilitation of degraded pastures and improvement of other environmental services provided by pasture lands.

2.2 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

The main feature in this approach is to balance the use of the pasture land in different seasons thorugh development of access to this resources. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and break down of the kolkhozes and Sovkhozes in the mountainous area of Tajikistan, utilization of pasture lands were suffering because of poor infrastructure, such as roads and bridges. Through community mobilization and sharing of funding costs such as labour force, roads and bridges providing access to remote pastures are build. This approach motivated communities to put in place rotation plans of patures. The main objective of promoting this approach is to organize the whole potential of existing fodder from the pasture and decrease burden on the close pasture lands to communities.
In this approach participatory methods was used, where community shared labour force and the local government support with formal documentation to allow contraction of new roads and bridges. Funding was mobilized from different sources, such as donor funds, governments and sometimes from the community itself.
Communities as members of PUUs were mobilized to serve as labour with some funding from project to access materials and means for implementation. The plan was negotiated and coordinated with the local level governmental authorities for legal permission both on improving infrastructure and use of pastures remote from villages.
Communities were excited to have access to additional pasture lands, as source of fodder for livestock development. Under this approach communities were motivated to plan pasture use in a sustainable way. Since the approach involves construction of roads and bridges, it involved a lot of manpower, especially during the agriculture season, where land users were also busy in their fields.

2.3 Fotos da abordagem

Observações gerais sobre as fotos:

After constructing the small bridges, communities have access to more than 250ha additional pasture land, which they use seasonal. This easy access also minimized the risk of animal loss during crossing the river through the water.

6.2 Principal motivação dos usuários da terra para implementar a GST

  • Lucro (lucrabilidade) aumentado, melhora da relação custo-benefício

When access to new pasture land is provided, communities will have also a chance to collect more fodder and keep their livestock in a better condition.

  • Degradação do solo reduzida

Burden and pressure to the close pasture decreased and they slowly started rehabilitating.

Community structures are new and are not well empowered to maintain all the innovative approaches. empower PUU and pasture users to become the real owner of the resource and build their capacity in management of their structure and sustainability
