This activity focuses on involving pastoralists in environmental protection. 

It consists of:

• creating a ‘conducive environment … so that pastoralists are aware of the negative consequence of climate change and actively involved in building a green economy’;
• organizing pastoralists to become active participants in building a green economy:
  • ‘plant and protect indigenous species that resist climate change’;
  • be at ‘the forefront in the prevention and protection processes of invasive species’;
  • ‘protecting registered and non-registered parks’;
  • ‘play leading roles in environmental protection; water and soil conservation; and flood protection and rehabilitation of degraded lands’;
• ensuring that pastoralists ‘become beneficiaries of carbon trading by introducing alternative energy sources that sequester carbon’;
• ensuring that pastoralists are ‘participants and beneficiaries of activities undertaken to prevent drought, and in sustainable development activities’.
