描述现场影响（按类别划分的两类主要影响）

Fuel wood, dung cake and kerosene were earlier used for lighting and cooking purposes and in order to meet this need trees had to be cut down but as a result of women‟s initiative, the village now has 160 solar lamps, 15 smokeless chulhas and 32 hot water chulhas.|
Wasundhara approach created the necessary dynamics and incentives to the VDC, the Samyukta Mahila Samiti and the Panchayati Raj Institutions to demonstrate a positive discrimination in the favor of the disadvantaged. Village Development Committee gives special attention to its poor.|
In case of fodder innovation project the emergence of pro-poor mechanism to share the benefits from the reseeded land in terms of the grass output. As per this norms the first right to harvest/cut the grass from this land is given to the land less poor livestock keepers.
Waste land reduced from 300 ha pre-watershed to 55 ha post-watershed.
Increase in land use area from 600 ha to 800 ha for Kahriff crops, from 30 ha to 400 ha for Rabbi and from 0 ha to 10 ha for summer crops. And increase in per acre production (Quintals) of rice from 10-12 Bags to 20 Bags|
Fodder which was available only for six months earlier, now is available throughout year and extra fodder is sold which has become a source of income for the villagers.|

描述两个主要的场外影响（即不是发生在现场，而是发生在周围区域）

Convergence approach which was adopted for fodder management and demonstrated successfully at Wankute village is now being spread to other WOTR project areas in its Climate Change Adaptation project
The Wasundhara Approach has been adopted by WOTR in its all project areas which amount to over 200 project areas. Also ridge to valley approach as demonstrated by WOTR has been adopted by NABARD and Government of Maharashtra for their project areas

对生物多样性和气候变化的影响

解释原因:

One of the approaches for this is “adaptation through mitigation”. The proposed automated agro-meteorological stations at the village level will help the local farmer link their agriculture planning to data obtained from their local station thereby helping them to act according to the climate
One of the approaches for this is “adaptation through mitigation”. The proposed automated agro-meteorological improved resource base, Ban on cutting of trees and afforestation (plantation of 110,000 trees on wasteland) helped in greening of the area.
