Some Major Evergreening Successes
- 7,000,000 hectares of FMNR now mapped in Niger
- 15,000,000 hectares of FMNR estimated across
Mali, Senegal, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Chad
- 500,000 hectares recent evergreening through
FMNR on the Seno plains in Mali
- > 1 m ha in Ethiopia
- > 1 m ha now mapped in Malawi!
- 10s of thousands of hectares in Kenya, Rwanda
and Ghana
- And the process is also on its way even in
Somaliland

Vision for the Drylands
2nd Africa Drylands Declaration Djamena, August 2014
«WE RECOMMEND AND PROPOSE that the drylands development community commit seriously to achieving the goal of Enabling EVERY farm family and EVERY village across the drylands of Africa
to be practicing Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration by the year 2025."
