Vegetation condition is still not looking good for most of the country. Only parts of the far north west and far south east (usually among the driest areas) are currently looking substantially better than average. Most other areas in the north are average with patches of good vegetation. Hardap, Erongo, most of ||Karas and Omaheke are still not looking good. Large areas within the other regions are also lagging behind.

Yes, and... Anything can happen....even turning arid, desert land into grasslands. This technique is called Kisiki Hai, meaning "living stump" combined with rainwater harvesting. The half-moon bunds capture the rainwater, which would otherwise wash away over the dry and barren soil. Soil becomes hydrophobic when exposed to the intense sunlight for long periods. It needs shade. This program is called the Regreening Arusha Program - RAP and it's working. So far they have trained 220 farmers, activating nearly 3,000 households by digging 22,000 half-moon bunds and regenerating 76,500 trees. From 2002 to 2023, Arusha lost 763 ha of humid primary forest - making up 14% of its total tree cover loss in the same period. Our tree canopy is important - and there are responsible methods for harvesting the resource.

Water is Life, in Borroloola (N.T.). This is home to the Yanyuwa, Marra, Garrwa, Garawa, Gudanji and Binbingka people, and they are speaking up, for the water, flora and fauna health of their country. We need to protect it. Meet the Yanyuwa Families of Borroloola https://lnkd.in/eyhzujPF Proposed fracking projects in the NT’s Beetaloo Basin threaten so many precious places – including the recharge area for Mataranka Hot Springs, the mighty Roper River, and Jurrkulu-Ijibarda (Lake Woods) and upstream areas. Jikaya (Lake Woods) is the Northern Territory's largest inland lake and is of enormous cultural significance to Traditional Owners, as well as being internationally significant for birdlife. Lake Woods meets five criteria for Ramsar listing as an internationally significant wetland, including being an important aggregation site for over 20,000 waterbirds. The process of fracking uses huge quantities of clean water and will reduce ground and surface water reserves significantly; impacting Aboriginal sacred sites, wetland, river and spring ecosystems and pastoral industries. Each well is estimated to use between eight to 12 Olympic swimming pools worth of water, and there could be as many as 6000 wells across the region. Despite this enormous amount of water use, the NT Government is only charging gas companies $3000 for water extraction licences.

Growing vegetation using the famous Miyawaki method or “pocket forests” is much faster and effective, especially in urban and suburban areas. The Miyawaki afforestation method uses native species that plant very close to each other to encourage sunlight-seeking apical growth. As a result, the plantation becomes 30 times dense, grows 10 times faster, and requires no maintenance after a span of 3 years. #Miyawaki

Date Harvesting in Sharak - Balochistan Date harvesting is one of the important and traditional activities of the people in this region. This process involves collecting, drying, and preparing dates for consumption. In Balochistan, hardworking men use traditional methods to gather dates from the palms. The process of collecting dates is carried out as follows: men climb the palm trees using simple tools such as sickles and ropes to cut down the clusters of dates. They then spread the dates out in the sun to dry. This traditional method not only preserves the quality of the dates but is also recognized as a symbol of the culture and history of Balochistan. In this region, dates play a significant role in the local economy and are considered one of the main agricultural products. Additionally, ceremonies and festivals related to date harvesting reflect the cultural and social importance of this product among the people of Balochistan. video: Rostam Sharaki #Dates #DateHarvesting #Balochistan #import #important #export #exporters
