Such practices include agroforestry (intercropping with trees, shelterbelts); improved grazing land management through temporal enclosure and enrichment planting; plantations and reforestation, (production-oriented plantations, tree belts for protection of catchments and erosion control); PA management; soil fertility and water harvesting measures to support tree systems (including adopting techniques such as hydrogels); and other relevant sustainable landscape management practices that are tree-based. Sustainable landscape management related interventions will be carried out by the government, forestry enterprises, the private sector, and rural communities, in the targeted locations within the Project corridors.
