  1. Influence of Ecosystem Health on Preserving and Restoring Biodiversity in West Africa Institut D’Economie Rural (IER) Center de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD) Soil Management CRSP (SM CRSP) Presented at the Biodiversity Conservation in Agriculture Symposium PUNTACANA Resort and Club Punta Cana, Dominican Republic May 31 – June 2, 2006

  2. Loss of Biodiversity fromAnthropogenic Disruption ofEcosystem Processes ProcessesDisruptions Nutrient Cycle Nutrient mining Carbon Cycle Carbon mining Hydrologic Cycle Runoff and soil loss

  3. Restoring Ecosystem Healthby • Redirecting runoff to deep seepage • Sequestering carbon • Retaining nutrients

  4. Consequences of Adopting Ridge Tillage Farming System • Reduced risk of crop failure • Increased household income and food security • Increased volume and purity of water supply • Increased carbon sequestration • Increased biodiversity

  5. Parkia biglobosa

  6. Ficus spp. regeneration

  7. Vitellaria paradoxa regeneration

  8. Adansonia digitata regeneration

  9. Thank you
