40. At least 50% of Latin America and the Caribbean is either too dry, too wet, too steep, too shallow, too infertile and/or too fragile to sustain cultivation or to support arborescent forests. These are the Region's rangelands defined by the Society for Range Management as, "Land on which the native vegetation (climax or natural potential) is predominantly grasses, grass-like plants, fortes, or shrubs. Includes lands revegetated naturally or artificially when routine management of that vegetation is accomplished mainly through manipulation of grazing" (SRM, 1989). There is no rangeland prototype because there are many different types. Rangelands in the Region include natural grasslands consisting of either tall, short, medium, annual or desert species; savannahs both wet and dry; shrub-lands of various characteristics; alpine communities; coastal marshes; wet meadows and most deserts. The commonalities between these are: (1) they produce a kind of vegetation that only animals can consume and convert into products beneficial to man; and (2) they are not suitable for sustained cultivation and they are incapable of supporting arborescent forests. However, many forests can be grazed without damage to the trees within the multiple-use concept and these are often called "woodland ranges". The objective is not to destroy the forest, but instead to use its resources for more than one product.
