Restored pastures in GBAO see productivity gains of up to 30%
Pasture productivity in several districts of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) has increased by 20–30% following restoration measures, according to monitoring results published by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) on August 13.
The monitoring was carried out from July 13 to 17 in Vanj, Rushan and Shugnan districts under the Restoration of Sustainable Landscapes in the Republic of Tajikistan project, known as RESILAND Tajikistan.
Specialists assessed pasture conditions and productivity, as well as the effectiveness of measures including rotational grazing, temporary fencing, improved water supply and restoration of vegetation.
Productivity up 20–30% in Vanj and Rushan
Six pasture user associations operate in Vanj district, managing a total of 368 hectares. Of these, 296 hectares have been improved through rotational grazing and temporary fencing.
At a four-hectare demonstration site managed by the Rovand association, restrictions on grazing helped grass grow to 55–65 centimeters, while vegetation cover reached 70–80%. Productivity stood at 16.7–17 tons of green mass per hectare.
Overall, pasture productivity among the associations in Vanj increased by an average of 20–30%.
