A History of Soil and Water Conservation in Tigray

R. Neil Munro, et al. 2019. A History of Soil and Water Conservation in Tigray. [Chapter 32 in: J. Nyssen et al. (eds), 2019. Geo-trekking in Ethiopia’s Tropical Mountains, Springer GeoGuide, Springer]. In Tigray Province in N Ethiopia during the 1960s, land degradation was rampant. Since then, focused SWC interventions have changed what was perceived as a doomed landscape to one that is largely under managed land husbandry. Neil Munro (TAA member) and co-authors describe the chronology of changes that produced the landscape of today.
