Adaptation Actions

1 - 20 of 28
58 - Plant less susceptible grasses like Glycine, Signal, Guinea and Koronea grasses which may be affected by salt for 2-3 weeks after the storm, but then will recover.
59 - Plant wind breaks near pastures that are coastal, already salt tolerant species
163 - Utilize appropriate building materials for livestock enclosres that can withstand climtic extremes
195 - Apply local and imported pesticides and Insecticides
285 - Use contour planting to prevent soil erosion during floods or storms
286 - Practice minimal tillage agriculture
287 - Utilize vetiver grasses to hold and prevent topsoil loss from gardens
288 - Utilize animal manure to counteract soil nutrient leeching in rainy times
293 - Identify and assist regeneration of water intolerant flora and fauna species
322 - Plant pasture grass species that can withstand flood conditions (para and elephant)
323 - Plant pasture grass species that can tolerate water (papolo and beans)
324 - Plant fodder tree species in pastures that tolerate water
325 - Move bullock to less flood prone areas including hill side grazing areas, and plateaus
326 - Make advance arrangements where bullock could be moved in case of flooding in the primary pastures
376 - Plan and promote forest eco-tourism activities for dryer areas during prolonged rainy periods
377 - Design forest tourism activities that are rain-proof (indoor activities- greenhouses and indoor botanical gardens)
378 - Make personal pesticides available to tourists in mosquito-prevalent areas
379 - Construct tourism facilities (bungalows) with durable non-weathering timber species (not likely to rot)
380 - Advise tourism operators on differing weathering properties of various forest products
389 - Apply local and imported herbicides (and chemical injections)
