El pastoralismo forma parte fundamental de los tres pilares de la sostenibilidad y ofrece una combinación de beneficios sociales, ambientales y económicos. Explota vastas áreas de tierra que pueden ser más adecuadas para usos múltiples: la producción extensiva de productos alimenticios de alta calidad en combinación con la prestación de servicios de los ecosistemas de alto valor. Las políticas, los servicios públicos y las inversiones deben adaptarse para apoyar esta combinación de usos y para asegurar que la gama completa de beneficios sean adecuadamente compensados y protegidos.

Rangelands are large natural landscapes that can include grasslands, shrublands, savannahs and woodlands. They are greatly influenced by, and often dependent on, the action of herbivores. In the majority of rangelands the dominant herbivores are found in domestic herds that are managed by mobile pastoralists. Most pastoralists manage their rangelands communally, benefitting from the greater flexibility and seasonal resource access that common property regimes can offer. As this book shows, this creates a major challenge for governance and institutions.
