What
We Going To Do
Our
Five Areas of Focus:
- Water Resource Management
- Forest Conservation
- Carbon Plus Program
- Sustainable Livelihood Alternatives
Ø Water Resource Management
water percentage decline is due to extensive deforestation and a lack of economic incentives for sustainable land use. We work to protect their water sources through watershed management.

Ø Forest
Conservation
Through reforestation, Protected Areas (PA) management plans, the installation of fuel efficient wood stoves, the establishment of agroforestry plots that reduce carbon emissions and increase crop yields, the training of "forest guardians" and park rangers, and more we aim to turn the tide on deforestation.

Ø Carbon
Plus Program
Forest loss and degradation are major contributors to global climate change and constitute the second largest source of anthropogenic CO2 emissions after fossil fuel combustion. By using carbon profits as incentives for communities to decrease pressure on forests, the program simultaneously conserves biodiversity and important ecosystems, increases forest carbon stocks, and strengthens rural communities.

Sustainable Livelihood Alternatives
we understand that lack of alternatives is a major reason the rural poor degrade natural resources. We work to promote sustainable agriculture, non-timber forest products and community enterprise. We are working to provide these alternative opportunities that improve individual and community well-being. (conservation powerd by people,

I completely agree with the fact that deforestation leads to the percentage decline in water levels. Water plays a major role in maintaining sustainability as mentioned in many of the places in this article.
ReplyDeleteBut mostly we should focus on water resource management. In planning for the management of water resources, the demand for water must be balanced with the water resources available.
