Summary
In order to reduce deforestation and desertification in Mali’s Segou Region, the project will strengthen and scale-up decentralised forest management to protect and restore dryland forest ecosystems, covering 25,000hectares. This will be achieved by building organisational and institutional capacities for effective stewardship of forests. 6,500hectares of degraded agricultural land will also be restored through tree planting and sustainable land management practices alongside reduced anthropogenic pressures. Finally, alternative livelihoods will be promoted based on the viable use of non-timber forest products.
