1- Background

This Project focuses on the introduction of native forage shrubs into the severely degraded rangelands to improve rangeland forage productivity. Improving forage resources for grazing animals in Jordan Badia is essential for improving the nutrition of these animals and consequently the productivity per head which expected to incite herders to adopt self-destocking to maintain the diversity and productivity of the improved rangelands. Therefore, sustainability of these grazing resources is essential for enhancing the living conditions of local communities in the Badia. Accordingly, the MoEnv signed three agreements (January 2012, October 2012 and November 2013) with MoA to plant native fodder shrubs (Atriplex halimus) at the selected sites in Jordan Badia.

2- Achieved Activities/Outputs

Activity 1: Participation of local community.

Activity 2: Production of Atriplex seedlings

Activity 3: Planting fodder shrubs

Activity 4: Irrigation of planted seedlings

Activity 5: Replacing failed plants

Activity 6: Protection of planted sites

Activity 7: Monitoring of revegetated sites

The numbers of planted and replaced failed seedlings of Atriplex halimus at project sites till end of 2014 are summarized in the following table:

2012			2013			2014			Sum
