Restoring the Rangelands

Decades of drought and pressure on the land have degraded the rangelands that pastoralist livestock depend on. This project puts communities in charge of bringing them back.

Through participatory rangeland management, communities map and agree grazing plans, reseed degraded areas with indigenous grasses, and build soil-and-water conservation structures that capture the rain when it does fall. Fodder banks store dry-season feed, so herds have something to eat when the pasture is gone.

It is climate adaptation led from the ground up — restoring not just grass, but the resilience of the people who live from it.
