The project relies in the same time on a holistic and multipurpose approach.
Holistic approach :
This approach is met by taking into account several dimensions in the objectives :
o technical demonstration, instrument of training and capacity building targeting the Central and Local Administrations’ forestry staff, Academies’ Forestry Universities and all forest stakeholders.
o support for awareness raising and education of the public on environment issues (it is proposed to create a Centre for Environment Interpretation);
o laboratory for the participatory approach;
o site for the development of natural resources management plans;
o urban waste valorisation (compost and sewage water)…
Multipurpose approach :
The created plantations will be able to satisfy various population needs and environmental functions in an integrated way: soil water and biodiversity conservation, erosion control, local microclimate mitigation, production of wood and non-wood products such as pasture, fodder, food, bee-keeping, renewable energy, game, amenities, tourism… The multipurpose management of the created vegetative cover will allow to fulfil these goals while sustaining the resource
