Grazing sheep

The sheep keep grasses and herbs from shading the panels, while benefiting from shelter and fresh grass. Farmers also make use of the open space.

Preservation of scrubs

We have preserved forest areas and existing scrub around the protected lakes to enhance the overall biodiversity of the region.

New wetland

Situated next to a protected watercourse, new wetland will enhance conditions for local amphibians and birds.
