The objective of this study is to assess the impact of above measures on soil loss rate, vegetative cover and livelihood of the population.
The land resource management measures practiced in the study area were highly effective for reducing soil loss, improving vegetation cover and livelihood of the population.
Although protected areas have become the primary mechanism for biodiversity conservation, their establishment can have long-term impacts on land use, land cover, and livelihoods of people living near them.
Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the impact of land resources management measures on soil loss, vegetative cover, and the livelihood of the population in the study area.
Hence the SFP failed to significantly increase forest cover or improve the livelihoods of the target populations.
The proposed focal variables are a) forest cover, b) opportunity cost, c) livelihood and productive diversification, d) pro-social and pro-environmental motivations and attitudes, e) confidence and cooperation, f) traditional management practices, g) internal organization on the local level, h) land tenure, and i) rules for the management and use of natural resources.
Local changes in land use and land cover (LULC) affect life support functions and human livelihoods (Lambin et al. 2001; Lambin and Geist 2006).
The next few weeks could see birds covered in oil and the livelihood of shrimp fishermen disrupted or ended, as wetlands become poisoned and the well continues to spill oil.
On the long-term, the savanna state may shift into a grass-dominated state with little tree cover, generating unfavorable conditions from a livelihood perspective.
(Not to mention the fact that, as a writer who covers Apple at close range, my livelihood depends on keeping up with the latest and greatest).
