Community based natural resources Decreased antipathy towards management of grasslands, forests, protected areas by instituting watersheds lead to maintenance of ecosystem human-wildlife conflict mitigation connectivity and sustainable use of natural measures resources in at least three landscapes (Odisha, Replication of Green Landscape Uttarakhand and Mizoram) to allow animal approach at multiple sites across movement the country for high global Reduced threats to at least seven protected environment value landscapes areas from agriculture and local livelihoods The work to maintain project’s related activities (such as from hunting) wildlife corridors between Sustainable agricultural land management protected areas will also help in lead to reduced threats to biodiversity from resilience of wildlife species by agrochemicals allowing better movement and promoting gene flow between sites. Reduced human wildlife and natural resources conflicts: Increased community awareness and engagement leads to reduced incidences of wildlife poaching and retaliation against wildlife for crop depredation and no encroachment into protected areas Improved livestock management reduces wildlife -livestock competition and reduces disease spread from domestic animals to wildlife. Human-wildlife conflict is a serious problem in India. This includes both humans interfering with wildlife habitat, poaching, and wildlife harming farm production. There are a great number of tools that have been developed to help farmers alleviate conflicts with wildlife. These tools, including innovative production models, can help to increase profits and improve wildlife habitat. The project will capture these lessons, tailor them for the unique situation of each location, and help to build farmer capacity required to implement production approaches that lower the rate and impact of human/wildlife conflict. The issue of human wildlife conflict mitigation will be mainstreamed into the community based natural resources management plans, as well as in the promotion of appropriate crops on the farm (those that are less attractive to wildlife). Sustainable Effective soil and water conservation land management on farm covering 91,718 ha management Restoration of degraded lands covering benefits 750,000 ha hectares Increased land cover through sustainable management of forests, grasslands and other communal areas leading to reduced soil – erosion Improved soil quality and reduced erosion from agricultural lands through sustainable land and water management Reduced soil and water pollution from judicious agrochemical use or conversion to organic farming Removal of invasive plant species
