The Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) in partnership with the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica, has successfully delivered compost bins to forty (40) farmers. The undertaking, which is contributing to Dominica’s efforts to become the first Climate Resilient Nation. Ras Siwatu Camille Le Blanc, explains that this gesture will support and enhance soil health, agricultural practices and promote sustainable soil and land management techniques, This initiative was made possible through the implementation of the “Strengthening Resilience of Agricultural Lands and Forests in Dominica in The Aftermath of Hurricane Maria,” project funded by the Global Environment Facility, implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and supported by the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) and Cuso International.

💧🌳The SOILCARE Project Completes the 1st Phase of major efforts to rehabilitate degraded forest reserve and protect the vital reserve in Les Avocat-Grenada 🇬🇩. The restoration commenced in February 2025 and was completed in April- spearheaded by the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM)—a Caribbean Inter-Governmental Organization—through our Multicountry Soil Management Initiative for Integrated Landscape Restoration and Climate-Resilient Food Systems (SOILCARE) initiative. The project is supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), with implementation support from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and Grenada’s Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Forestry, Marine Resources and Cooperatives. Project Manager-Trevor Thompson explains the importance of the work completed in this vital reserve.

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, “Repurposing 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.”

🌱🔍 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. 🌱🔬 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 🇧🇧, 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

🇯🇲 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

🇬🇩Grenadian Agronomist Karrym Forsyth weighs in on the Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Modelling Training held in his country this week. 🌍🌱Following the one-week exercise, Grenada’s representatives- Darron, Johnelle, Andre, Karrym, Shedonna and Kenton will be able to develop their national Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration map, using the data available from National Surveys completed as part of the CSIDS SOILCARE Phase 1 Project. The Partnership Initiaitive for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM), in collaboration with the The Global Soil Partnership, through support from the Food and Agriculture Organisation and funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is this week hosting a training aimed at strengthening the capacity of regional experts and stakeholders with the knowledge and tools needed to better understand and model soil organic carbon sequestration, a critical component in addressing land degradation. 🌿🌾 #SoilCarbon #SustainableLandManagement #CapacityBuilding #PISLMimpact #ClimateAction #Grenada
