This report is important for pastoralists as it explicitly mentions pastoralists in the introduction: “The same applies to pastoralist communities. Converting (pastoral areas) to sedentary agriculture evokes the idea that it is a win-win solution: poor people get their land, sometimes even with formal private titles, while the remainder of the pastoralist or shifting cultivation areas are then taken over by the state. Or, entire communities are just as easily relocated, since shifting cultivation and pastoralist fields are often categorized as state-claimed “empty” land."

Yak is specially adapted to high-altitude environments and is a flagship species for the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. It plays a key role not only in agrobiodiversity conservation and maintaining high-altitude rangeland ecosystems, but also in cultural traditions and livelihood strategies. But yak are coming under increasing pressure with closed borders and restrictions on grazing and movement, and yak herders are facing immense livelihood challenges.

This volume aims to enhance our understanding of yak in the region by bringing together 14 articles from Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan covering a wide range of subjects related to yak raising in the Hindu Kush Himalayas. It provides valuable insights that will help in developing plans for yak genetic conservation, pastoral development, and management measures to enhance system resilience and the adaptive capacity of local communities to ongoing and potential changes.

If the current situation is precarious, the future promises to be even more challenging. This book discusses what should be the focus of the next generation of interventions aimed at enhancing the resilience of vulnerable dryland populations in the face of demographic, economic, environmental, and climatic change.

This study regards two herding/conservation systems (salt steppes and wood-pastures), and developed an inventory on the common/similar and conflicting/different objectives and pasture management practices of herders and conservationists. Extensive land-use often survives in protected areas only, in the form of conservation management. The study suggests a new profession: that of the conservation herder. The conservation herder shall be an individual knowledgeable about herding and pasture management, and trained in conservation and ecology.
