Management, Protection, and Restoration of Forest

The conservancy has made sure that the community is supported with 30 biogas kits to reduce forest destruction for charcoal and fuel.

The Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy employs a range of strategies to manage, protect, and restore forests within its conservation area. These strategies include:

  1. Community-based forest management: The conservancy involves local communities in the management of forest resources, providing them with the necessary training and support to sustainably harvest timber and non-timber forest products, such as honey and medicinal plants. This approach helps to promote community ownership and stewardship of forest resources, and ensures that the benefits of forest resources are shared equitably among community members.

  2. Forest protection: The conservancy has implemented a range of measures to protect forests from illegal logging and other destructive activities. These include increased patrols, community education programs, and the establishment of a community-based wildlife ranger program. The conservancy works closely with local authorities to combat poaching and illegal logging, and has been successful in reducing these activities within its conservation area.

  3. Forest restoration: The conservancy is actively involved in restoring degraded areas within its conservation area. This involves planting native tree species and restoring degraded soils to improve the health and productivity of forests. The conservancy also works to promote agroforestry and other sustainable land use practices, which can help to reduce pressure on natural forests and restore degraded landscapes.

Overall, the Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy recognizes the critical importance of forests for the health and wellbeing of local communities and the wider ecosystem. Through its community-driven approach to conservation, the conservancy is promoting sustainable forest management, protecting forests from destruction, and restoring degraded areas to improve ecosystem health and function.
