Introduction
Introduction
In Rural areas:
Main objectives:
• protection against sand encroachment is a component of
infrastructure and part of farmland protection;
• the fight against erosion is part of land protection and crop
production improvement;
• firewood is produced, with a view to meet local needs and to reduce
pressure on nearby natural forests;
• the development and management of natural forests involves the
neighbouring populations and the external actors;
• fodder and pastoral production is envisaged with a view to
increasing family incomes and reducing pressure on nearby
rangelands.
In the urban areas
Main objectives:
