Community-managed exclosures in Tigray, Ethiopia

Exporter la citation

Cumulative effects of soil erosion, deforestation and overgrazing caused widespread land degradation across the Ethiopian highlands. In response to the land degradation, rehabilitation measures such as exclosures have been practised by community, gov - ernment and non-government organizations. Exclosures are areas socially fenced off from wood cutting, grazing by domestic animals and other agricultural activities, with the goal of promoting natural regeneration of plants and rehabilitation of formerly degraded communal grazing lands. The practice of exclosure has been mainly carried out during the last two decades (1991-2013). Priority areas for exclosure are identified by local community representatives, Ethiopian Government development agents, and NGOs closely working together. Community-managed enclosures are mainly practised because of deforestation and overgrazing to rehabilitate degraded areas.
