Adaptation Actions

1 - 20 of 23

60 - Raise/elevate river creek crossings highly

61 - Bury/lower river/creek crossings well underground

62 - If possible, have water pipes cross rivers/creeks at less vulnerable points up or down stream

63 - Use local knowledge of cyclone vulnerable areas when laying water pipes/infrastructure

150 - Provide awareness on the importance of water catchment areas for water quality

151 - Establish protected areas over sensitive water catchments

152 - Reforest and rehabilitate forests within sensitive watershed and catchment areas

153 - Place and enforce buffer zones around streams and water sources

163 - Utilize appropriate building materials for livestock enclosres that can withstand climtic extremes

446 - Use antibiotics to treat the Charolais Bullock eyelid sores problem due to sunlight overexposure

447 - Avoid sunlight vulnerable varieties of bullock like Charolais

448 - Encourage sunlight tolerant varieties of bullock like Brahman mixes

449 - Ensure that Charolais variety is placed in the shade during the hottest and sunniest parts of the day.

450 - Cross Charolais with Brahman to develop tolerance to high light intensity.

451 - Place bullock in shade trees for middle day times, while morning and afternoon time are best for feeding in open pastures

472 - Plant coastal, native, endemic and site adapted species on beaches and vulnerable coasts trees to control erosion

473 - Plant/protect wetland species including mangroves to reduce erosion

473 (a) - Erosion of coastal forest areas

474 - Encourage and assist communities to establish forested buffer zones between the coast and the village

475 - Research the potential for desalination and irrigation of coastal woodlots/plantations
