Reforestation and agricultural landscape restoration have been employed to reduce the impacts of climate-related hazards on local communities.
A traditional grazing technique called gdel was reintroduced in an area of south-eastern Tunisia to allow for the regeneration of local rangelands. The technique allows for plots of land to “rest” between grazing periods to encourage the recovery of vegetation.
Oyster breakwater reefs promote adjacent mudflat stability and salt marsh growth in a monsoon-dominated subtropical coast.
Researchers empirically tested the potential for traditional indigenous fire management methods to aid in conservation and adaptation of the Canaima National Park. The Pemón people have used a method of fire management that creates a mosaic of patches of land at various stages of re-growth that serve as fire breaks for other areas.
Researchers empirically tested the potential of artificial grassland creation to restore and revegetate degraded grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. A four-year field test found that the intervention had a positive impact on soil quality, biomass cover, and other relevant metrics.
Exclosure practices were adopted with the aim of rehabilitating and recovering the biodiversity of overgrazed pastoral rangeland.
Small-scale farmers in the upper amazon have implemented a diverse array of strategies to combat soil erosion, land degradation, and decreasing fallow periods in order to minimize the effects on marginal farmlands and maximize the forest-soil relationship.
Farmer-managed natural regeneration (FMNR) employed to restore overgrazed and deforested land, boost biodiversity, and generate carbon offset revenues for local communities.
Coastal mangrove restoration is practiced as a community-based climate change adaptation initiative in Bangladesh.
