Watershed rehabilitation and sustainable forest management is promoted through land tenure reform with a specific focus on increasing land ownership among women.

Sustainable agriculture and agroforestry combined with political advocacy for improved regulation of fishing in Lake Kivu are helping restore coastal forests and aquatic habitats in the Gulf of Kabuno. Reforestation efforts also aim to improve the carbon storage potential of the surrounding area to counter Lake Kivu’s high rates of carbon and methane emissions.

Community planned and implemented reef enhancement and mangrove restoration aims to break wave energy, reduce coastal erosion, and create a habitat for fish, coral, and other species.

In 2006, the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area became the first community-managed conservation area in Nepal. Since this transfer from former national government management, local communities have engaged in community forest management, restored large parts of the area, and continuously monitor and work to respond to conservation needs.

The Potato Park in Peru is managed by a collective of indigenous communities who employ traditional knowledge and management methods to restore agrobiodiversity, particularly of potatoes, adapt agricultural systems to climate change, and strengthen cultural identity and sovereignty in the area.

Communal lands in the Succulent Karoo Biome face combined pressures from climate change and overgrazing. Therefore, local farmers and pastoralists have been trained in rangeland restoration techniques and climate resilient livestock farming.

Populations in the Mount Elgon region of Uganda face imminent challenges as a result of climate change including increasingly erratic rainfall and the melting of snow and glaciers resulting in flooding and subsequent drought. Ecosystem-based adaptation approaches were implemented to restore degraded landscapes, encourage more sustainable agricultural methods, and conserve water and soil resources.

Conservation, forest restoration, and organic soil nutrient management in mountainous areas of the Panchase region of Nepal aim to strengthen adaptive capacity of local communities and ecosystems.

The Governance for Ecosystem-based Adaptation project, or Go4EbA project, aims to address food and water security through the restoration of riparian forests, soil conservation techniques, agroforestry and agroecological diversification.
