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

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
