With the support that Platcorp is offering, the funds will focus on using livestock to restore rangeland health and productivity and combine it with eco-tourism to generate sustainable livelihood options for the community.

We have built community trust and consensus on establishing a conservation presence and also initiation meetings have been done. Sahiwal-Boran cross bulls were handed over to the community as a gesture of goodwill and to improve breeding stock within the region, this will form the basis for ongoing work for sustainable rangeland management.

In the coming year, the focus will be on the construction of a local chief and conservation office, to act as a hub for conservation activities in the region. Once there is a clear goal and vision established with the community, we will be looking for larger funding to help improve rangeland management and ecotourism opportunities.
