• Project description
  The Arlomom Patako project is helping farmers to put trees back into a deforested and highly degraded landscape in the peanut belt of Senegal. Local subsistence farmers and women's groups are being assisted to plant trees into farmland and to grow native tree species for wood fuel, fruits, and other products that will improve people's lives. Planting native trees will benefit local wildlife and it will take the pressure off the local forest reserve, Patako Forest. Planting trees will improve soil fertility, and potentially it will increase the yields of staple crops, like millet. Women are at the heart of the project, with 9 women's groups having land allocated to them for planting native plantations. The goal of the project is to restore deforested and highly degraded land in the Patako landscape by empowering local subsistence farmers and by generating finance from the sale of carbon credits. The initial pilot sites and participants were selected based on a numbe of criteria; the communities’ willingness to allocate land to women’s groups to have their own plan vivos, the motivation of the individuals to participate in the activities, the availability of land and water, and proximity to the Patako Forest.
