① This site is built on a steep slope.
② Urban trash and livestock excrements were washed aside by the rainwater and accumulated at the lower part of the site.
③ We could see abundant plant growth at the end of the fence.
④ We selected three points and made 2×2 meters quadrats for vegetation survey.
⑤ The most predominant species was Indigofera prieureana (kyamero in Hausa language).
⑥ Grass grew on the hard bedrocks where the trash was fed.
⑦ We can recognize the differences between the inside and outside of the fences.
