Pastoralist Managed Natural Regeneration

Session: This session will demonstrate Pastoralist Managed Natural Regeneration, a new reforestation practice which is successfully reversing the rapid deforestation and desertification in dryland Africa. Pastoralist Managed Natural Regeneration (PMNR) has been shown to be a simple, income generating and self-sustaining reforestation system which is based on the natural regeneration and management of tree stems from underground stumps.
