9. Emission Reduction Activities by Improving Agricultural Production Methods with the Participation of Local Residents

1. Approach’s Outline and Features This approach is to develop a community-based initiative on reducing GHG emissions in forests by focusing on the agricultural sector as the main deforestation driver in Cameroon. It aims to both conserve the forest and boost local livelihood by renovating agricultural production systems. Given competing land uses, e.g. agricultural and forestry, renovating the agricultural production system with a view to cultivating without any deforestation may be an effectiv...

13. Long-rooted seedlings for afforestation in arid and semi-arid areas

1. Approach’s Outline and Features This approach involves accelerating afforestation in arid and semi-arid areas with long-rooted seedlings that would expand the available land areas for tree plantations. Their long roots could enhance the survival rate during the dry season and their drought tolerance is reportedly relatively higher than normal seedlings. Although the long-rooted seedlings technique remains in the experimental phase in Botswana, it is expected to be applicable as a means of enh...

15. Countermeasures for soil degradation in arid and semi-arid regions

1. Approach’s Outline and Features This approach involves pilot activities in which forest officers and villagers learn techniques to address poverty issues in areas with significant deforestation and soil degradation, then work to control land degradation and promote effective land use. The approach comprises the following two pillars:The residents of each village must take the initiative to tackle soil degradation state-wide. Accordingly, the approach identified useful and applicable technique...
