Planting forest strips to preserve biodiversity

To combat soil erosion and desertification due to climate change, this project will create windbreaks on agricultural land along roads in two municipalities.
Key activities include:

• Professional Workshops: Fourteen workshops for local and regional farmers will address soil erosion, water conservation, ecological farming, and irrigation technology. Experts and organizations will share best practices.
• Cadastral Surveying: Surveying and preparing a protective fencing plan with farmers to select and manage afforestation areas.
• Windbreak Installation: Establishing a 10,000-meter forest strip as a protective windbreak.
• Youth Engagement: Eco-focused activities for students to learn about soil protection and sustainable farming.
• Maintenance and Equipment: Ongoing upkeep of roads and trees, alongside necessary equipment purchases.
• Project Closing Conference: Summary of findings, outcomes, and long-term strategies.

• Environmental Benefits

- Reduced soil erosion and desertification.
- Improved air quality through increased green cover.
- Carbon sequestration and enhanced biodiversity.

• Agricultural Productivity

- Higher crop yields and water conservation.
- Reduced need for fertilizers due to soil retention.
- Improved economic gains for farmers.

• Climate Resilience

- Enhanced ability to withstand extreme weather conditions.
- Long-term soil stability and sustainable agricultural systems.

• Community Impact

- Increased awareness among youth and local residents about sustainable farming.
- A positive shift in local attitudes toward environmental protection.

• Sustainability and Long-Term Impact

- The forest strip will prevent topsoil loss, supporting organic farming.
- Improved soil fertility and biodiversity over time.
- Demonstrable, long-term conservation benefits for individuals and municipalities.
