Ecosystem Restoration:
This is the process of assisting the recovery on an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed. The Navajo Nation rangeland has been degraded due to decades-long unchecked overgrazing and ongoing exceptional drought. Ecosystem restoration has the ability to revive and promote healthier lands.
Navajo Nation Climate Change Program Vision:
To prepare the Navajo Nation and its communities to adapt to our changing climate, to implement strategies that will preserve and restore natural resources on the Navajo Nation and finally, provide a resilient future for communities on the Navajo Nation.
