CMNR is a low-cost, rapid and easily replicated approach to restoring and improving degraded lands. It is based on the systematic regrowth of existing trees or self-sworn seeds. It is managed and practised by a pastoralist community who have no knowledge of farming or agricultural practices. And is done on deforested areas and on lands that don't have fertile soil, a land that is majorly colonised with sand soil. It focuses on how a simple act of thinning and pruning can release the untapped energy of underground roots. It has increased the supply of a range of products like fodder and firewood and also has improved the communities livelihood by adopting other sources of income.
