Activities include:
Moisture conservation.
Afforestation.
Advising villagers to reduce their herds of non milk-producing cattle.
Assisting villagers in getting gas connections which reduce demand for fuel wood.
Convincing villagers to adopt forest-friendly measures such as biogas units and helping them get cooking gas connections.
Educating and assisting villagers in setting up natural barriers against wildlife depredation of crops to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
