Info

China – Kelaigou Natural forest covers the larger part of the area. No degradation is reported for this area. Land degradation (reported uniquely in the form of surface erosion by water) is severe in the areas with tree and shrub cropping and mixtures of land use types. The rate of land degradation is slowly decreasing in all degraded areas, but not changing in the areas with mixed land use types, although this area under conservation measures for more than 75%, and the effectiveness is reported as high. This may point at a time lag in the response of land degradation to the implementation of conservation measures. This is confirmed by the increasing trend of effectiveness reported for these areas. Only small parts of the severely degraded land with tree and shrub cropping are under conservation measures (
Botswana – Boteti The main land use type is grazing. Dominant types of degradation are water degradation (aridification) and salinization and alkalinization in the areas with salt pans, and degradation of the vegetation in all other land use types. The degree of degradation is moderate to strong in the areas with salt pans, and moderate in the mixed land use south of Boteti river. Degradation is slowly increasing for all land use types, except in the grazing land in the northern part. Current conservation measures include changes in the timing of cropping activities in the floodplain, and changes in the intensity of grazing in the grazing land around the villages (village grazing) and in the cattle ranging. However, in the larger part of the area, used for grazing and mixed land use, no conservation measures are applied (‘Others’ in the legend). For this area, the biogas conservation technology documented in this book was proposed. It addresses the degradation of vegetation by benefiting from the high livestock intensity to produce biogas as an alternative source of fuel. Roof rainwater harvesting offers an alternative water source in response to the declining groundwater table and the high salinity of this water source. 248 DESIRE – WOCAT Desire for Greener Land
