#Quickcheckin with the participants of PISLM Dominica's workshop, which focused on raising awareness towards enhancing understanding of land tenure issues among local farmers and stakeholders. The workshop was facilitated by McDowill Paul and Kimala Alfred- State Attorney attached to the legal aid clinic, focused on the types of land tenure systems including the freehold, leasehold and community land arrangements and their impacts on the farming community. It also zeroed in on areas such as the application for state owned lands, land financing procedures and legislative procedures. The undertaking is part of the broader goals of the ongoing projects β€œSustainable Land Management in the Commonwealth of Dominica” and β€œStrengthening Resilience of Agricultural Lands and Forests in Dominica in the Aftermath of Hurricane Maria.” These projects are implemented by the PISLM’s in Dominica with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations Environmental Programme and the Government of Dominica.

The reserve, located in St. David, was identified as a land degradation hot spot, under Phase 1 of the regional project, because of the severe erosion occurring and the impacts the proliferation of the invasives were having on water supply at the Les Avocat Dam and Water Treatment Plant. This effort plays a crucial role in tackling land degradation in Grenada. The demonstration site is approximately 10 acres and Land Management Specialist Dr. Ronen Francis, stated that provisions have been made for, β€œRepurposing the bamboo- some are being packed over root stumps to prevent new growth, while the rest will be used as construction material for the rebuilding efforts in Carriacou.”

πŸŒ±πŸ” Behind the scenes of Guyana's Soil Survey! Did you know that this exercise, which will be complemented by the handover of laboratory equipment to support soil testing in the country, will aim to collect 319 samples in the 10 administrative regions of Guyana and be able to help the country to be able to test over 10 parameters of soil fertility including soil nutrients, soil carbon and others. πŸŒ±πŸ”¬ The survey which commenced on January 13, is being done in collaboration among the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM), the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission, with support from the University of the West Indies. This is being done as part of Phase 1 of the Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) multicounty soil management initiative for integrated landscape restoration and sustainable food systems: Phase 1 known as CSIDS-SOILCARE. It is a flagship project on soils funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and executed by the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) with the Food and Agricultural Organiation of the UN, as the implementing agency. #SoilSurvey #SustainableLandManagement #Guyana #LDN #Agriculture #SoilHealth #UNCCD #Sustainability #pislmimpact

🌱🌍 Regional technicians, including Barbadian Paul Collymore πŸ‡§πŸ‡§, are set to play a crucial role in soil restoration and carbon sequestration efforts! Paul and 26 other technicians spent February 10-15 2025 being educated on the various tools and approaches utilised for sequestration of soil organic carbon in Grenada. The training was organised by the Partnership Initiaitive for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM), in collaboration with the Global Soil Partnership, of the Food and Agriculture Organisation and funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). 🌱🌎 #SustainableLandManagement #ClimateAction #SoilCare #CSIDS #PISLM #GEF #ClimateResilience #SoilHealth

πŸ‡―πŸ‡² Jamaican Cartographer- Brittany Bygrave was one of 27 participants from the eight (CSIDS SOILCARE) project countries that participated in a Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Modelling Training in Grenada from 🌍 February 10-15, 2025. This training focused on exploring and comparing carbon gaps, helping participants like Brittany to strengthen their knowledge on the potential of their countries and the recommended strategies for sustainable soil management. It will help her to map areas across her countries, that can retain more carbon, compared to other areas and reduce Greenhouse gases. The training was organized by the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) in collaboration with the FAO Global Soil Partnership, with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). 🌱🌎 #SustainableLandManagement #ClimateAction #SoilCare #CSIDS #PISLM #GEF #ClimateResilience #SoilHealth #Caribbean
