| Title: | Syria - Badia Rangelands Development Project - April 2010 |
| Description: |
Women attend a health care class in Shaddade, Hassekeh province, Syria. This is the first large-scale, fully participatory development project in the Badia rangelands and is an integrated effort to preserve and improve the living conditions of the Bedouin community. The project’s main aim is to rehabilitate an area totalling about one third of the Badia rangelands and re-establish its productive capacity. In the past, the Badia’s natural resources supported the activities of Bedouin herders and their households, enabling them to provide for their needs. But as the steppe land became increasingly degraded through over-use and other factors, herders’ incomes diminished drastically and their living conditions deteriorated. |
