To restore the degraded lands in the region, farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR) has been used as a lowcost efficient option. However, the major challenge of the approach is a lack of species diversity, at times meaning a lack of diverse functions for farmers and growers. Therefore, to fill the diversity gap, tree planting using seeds and seedlings is suggested. However, the success of numerous projects involving tree planting in the Sahel has been limited with a very low survival of planted trees following browsing, droughts and wildfires.
