Title: |
Enabling services from land and water resources through actor-oriented forest landscape restoration: Tools and best practice |
||
| Description: |
A watershed is chosen as a case study for East Africa, where severe land use conflicts are occurring between agricultural use, conservation of protected forest and intensive grazing, and informal charcoal extraction. Land use dynamics are directly at the expense of dry forests and tree and bush vegetation, and indirectly at the expense of the water balance. Directly linked to this are negative socio-ecological impacts for the local residents. Through keynotes, poster presentations, simulation games, and a 2-day field trip, a participatory and practice-oriented technical exchange is aimed at. |
