Adaptation Actions

1 - 20 of 43
160 - Plant shade trees around and within bullock and pig pastures/enclosures
161 - Keep forested/shade/reserve areas within the farm, so that during drought times, animals can be moved into these cooler naturally moist areas
162 - Bullock may be grazed in the open, but for resting should be brought into forests
163 - Utilize appropriate building materials for livestock enclosres that can withstand climtic extremes
163 - Build special enclosures for pigs to have an appropriate balance of exposure and shelter
164 - Select shady sites for pig enclosures
165 - Provide shade over the chicken fence, either with normal housing roof material or trees.
304 - Discourage clearing of vegetation on steep slopes
304 (a) - Reforest cleared slopes with tree and grass species with well developed root systems that will control soil erosion (e.g. vetiver and namamau)
304 (b) - Forest Plantations on sloping areas should be planted in various planting rows and patters to encourage soil retention
305 - Use downed braches as a soil erosion/runoff break (sloped areas)
306 - Gravel/pave roads in logging areas
307 - Maintain proper crossings (streams and rivers)
308 - Introduce sediment catchment devices (leaves/branches or other sediment traps)
309 - Practice good log stacking and log piling to maintain production quality during wet times
310 - Use cable logging rather than bulldozers
311 - Shift forestry operations to dry areas/islands during prolong rainy periods.
312 - Appropriately zone and spatially plan logging activities within concession areas
313 - Follow and plan forestry operations and activities according to Meteo forecasts and outlooks
314 - Reduce working hours/tasks during rain times
