Fig.1 Biodiversity description during the survey at Winong Lake, Dec 2014-Apr 2015 Local Conservation Practices To address the needs of local biodiversity conservation, some local community practices have begun. These include: • Agroforestr y t o make a more sustainable management of the landscape and water rationing in which hillsides are planted with cassava and trees like teak and acacia while lower (foot) slopes are planted with corn and maize. Thus we see a multi-layers pattern on the landscape and more in tune with the landscape (Fig.2) and water supply control. Erosion is reduced especially through grass as a ground cover carpet. Along with fruit yielding trees, the overall approach seeks to combine a more planned crop and tree use with more sustainable economic returns.
