Difficulties
The Miombo woodlands are the most extensive dry forest type in central and southern Africa. Covering 2.7 million km2, it has the most extraordinary worldwide biodiversity.
Chibabava district is located in Miombo woodlands.High temperatures, poor lands, uncontrollable fires and extreme climate catastrophes have ruined agricultural production provoking chronic food insecurity on local people.
Several of these woods are overexposed to climate pressure and fires that destroy the organic material of the land meaning a serious threat to biodiversity.
Goals
Along with local communities, a socioeconomic and agroecosystem survey will be conducted to develop a better comprehension about how climate change, economic and volatile pressure impact on people.
In collaboration with members of the local community, lands will be identified to be restored and enriched, uncontrollable fires will be prevented and climate threat will be readapted.
Community-led actions will be used to accelerate forest regeneration through the planting of native species.
How do we reach it?
Through the G-STIC Climate Action Program, the Reforestation Project will help to enrich 300 Miombo woodlands hectares in Chibabava community, in Mozambique.
An agroforestal plot will be worked on the river bank. Two nurseries will be created. One of them to plant native species, enriching and impulsing regeneration and the other one to get more plots to agroforestal productions.
Moreover, two demonstrative agroforestal plots will be also created with solar-powered irrigation systems, sustainable techniques and coffee walnut, timber and fruit trees plantations.
