WMG in Burkina Faso - Gabions for Watershed Restoration

in 2012 WMG partnered with several communities in Burkina Faso, West Africa. This video highlights some of work there using gabions - a simple practice used to prevent erosion and capture water off the landscape. We hosted a workshop to train farmers how to manufacture gabion baskets so that they could restore their watershed and generate income by selling the gabion baskets to other local farmers.
