ORANGE–SENQU RIVER BASIN, Lesotho

 

Inappropriate management of the Orange–Senqu’s catchment has resulted in erosion in Lesotho’s sensitive rangelands contributing high sediment loads to the river system. At Mount Moorosi, stone walls are built by community volunteers to stop further erosion and rehabilitate rangelands above the Senqu River.

Mamasako Lesotsa volunteers her labour three days a week to fight soil erosion, clear invasive bushes and plant seeds of indigenous, nutritious grass on common lands where she is one of many villagers who graze their livestock.
