Adapting to increased aridity in the livestock-raising community of Lepsy
Submitted by MelOliveros on Tue, 2009-12-15 03:24
Summary:
The project focuses on the pastoral community of Lepsy, in Northern Kazakhstan. The community suffers from extremely dry climate and poor pasture management. Increased aridity due to climate change and the disruption to traditional seasonal grazing have negative impacts on livestock productivity. The CBA project aims to reduce the community's vulnerability to climate change and conserve the sand pasture ecosystem. This will be achieved through the implementation of pasture management practices that maximize scarce water resources.
