Work with four villages to prevent erosion in the catchment of the Drini River, a key biodiversity area that provides multiple services to inhabitants of northern Albania. Adapt activities to the local context, including reforestation of 60,000 trees, small anti-erosive infrastructures and improved pasture and grazing management. The pilots developed in the four villages will inform Integrated River Basin Management for the entire catchment.

Strategic Direction: 2 Establish the sustainable management of water catchments and the wise use of water resources with a focus on the priority corridors of the (1) Atlas Mountains, (2) Taurus Mountains, (3) Orontes Valley and Lebanon Mountai
