Conservation Management in Priority Areas Outside Existing Protected Areas for promotion of community conservation initiatives and sound management of rangelands. Focusing on important areas identified under preparation, the project will work with community conservation forums to understand concerns and problems, and to devise appropriate management solutions to conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable use. The management techniques will draw strongly on strategies devised under Component 4, but will be tailored to the context of open access range management and the specific community context in each area. Of primary concern is the issue of overgrazing. Conditions for sustainable livestock management in conservation areas will be determined jointly with local communities
