The proposed project is designed to enhance integrated land Use management and agro-biodiversity conservation at Loboi and Sandai by working with farming communities. The key economic activities in the area are; Livestock production, crop ( ... )
tion, tourism and charcoal burning all of which depends on natural resources.
As a consequence, there is overstocking leading to over grazing, siltation, community conflicts, unsustainable utilization of water resource, high rate of deforestation, loss of biodiversity, water pollution from agricultural chemicals and high poverty level.

the ASALs, making them very important but vulnerable ecosystem that needs to be conserved for
