Description of the SLM Approach
Short description of the Approach
Thanks to a joint baking of a bread in public bakery by local residents, there is no need now to use a large amount of firewood, which leads to a reduction in felling of mountain forests around the village and in the leshoz area
Detailed description of the Approach
Aims / objectives: The approach was implemented by the NGO 'Azal' in 2013 within 3 years of the project Sustainable improvement of living conditions of rural communities through integrated, community-based forest protection and nature conservation, in partnership with Welthungerhilfe (GA); Donor - BMZ, GIZ, in Rasht.

Demonstration posters, video clips about existing energy-efficient ways for mitigation. The decision support. Reveal what kind of knowledge is community needed and carried out the necessary trainings for them on energy saving , agro-forestry, agribusiness development; as well as trainings to strengthen the capacity of leshoz workers on protection and restoration of forests, visiting other leshozes with best practices.
