In the Mukosi area of Masvingo Rural (Ward 21), local villagers are leading a project to reclaim land degraded by deep gullies. These gullies threaten homes, roads, and arable land, while also causing siltation in the Tugwi-Mukosi Dam catchment.
Working with the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the community is using practical, stone-based methods to stabilize the soil.
The work includes building stone gabions, creating barriers to reduce water velocity and prevent further erosion (silt traps), and planting vetiver grass and other vegetation to hold the soil in place.
The project is a collaborative effort involving Environmental Management Agency, Agritex, the Forestry Commission Zimbabwe, and the Department of Veterinary Services to combat desertification and protect the local environment.
