Environmental policy and administrative management

The main problem of shepherds in dry summer months in this area is the lack of water and the stress that the animals incur due to the long distance needed to be covered to reach drinking water. Due to these constraints flocks of animals reside and pasture near drinking points exerting a very high grazing pressure on the habitat. In order to realize this objective it is necessary to provide the necessary infrastructure, mainly watering ponds (lera) in the alternative grazing grounds. This project will retrofit 2 ponds with a concrete grid that is necessary for holding in place the stones placed in the topmost layer. Stones function as a protection for the plastic layer from the piercing from the hooves of the cows.
