This study, commissioned by the Subgroup on Desertification of FAO's Interdepartmental Working Group on Environment and Sustainable Development, is a review of work undertaken by major institutions of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) working on development of arid lands and combating desertitication. It analyses the experiences and lessons drawn from 147 bibliographic studies of documents of strategic, methodological or technical interest for the region. It contains information previously little or not available outside the CIS, which will prove useful to individuals and institutions working in the field of conservation of natural resources and sustainable development of drylands.
