It includes examples and case studies from five benchmark sites in Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, whose variability illustrates the complexities of integrated NRM in agro-ecosystems. AHI has achieved unique success in implementing INRM that works. Highlands worldwide are important repositories of biodiversity as well as “water towers” for vast lowland and urban populations. This book documents a decade of research, methodological innovation, and lessons learned in an eco-regional research-for-development program.Text1 digital file (306 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenHIGHLANDSNATURAL RESOURCESRESOURCES CONSERVATIONRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINSAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONSLOCAL GOVERNMENTORGANIZATIONAL CHANGEWATERSHED MANAGEMENTBIODIVERSITYFARMER PARTICIPATORY RESEARCHINTEGRATED NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTSOUTH OF SAHARAETHIOPIACONGOIDRC Book
