La ganadería móvil es el modo más sostenible de manejar los pastizales del mundo y los usos de tierra alternativos se asocian con costos ambientales y económicos. La magnitud de costos no quedan bien entendidos y pueden incurrirse sin que la gente se de cuenta de ello. Si un país que posee amplios pastizales desea reversar la desertificación y superar la pobreza, es esencial que reconozca la lógica ambiental de la ganadería móvil y su gran potencial económico.

Many policy makers in East Africa have preconceptions about the value of pastoralism as a land-use system believing it to be economically inefficient and environmentally destructive. Yet, this is not evidence-based. Not only is there no consensus on what is a dynamic economic model of pastoralism, no mechanisms exist to inform government decision-making of its comparative advantages over alternative land uses. A new conceptual framework is needed to assess the value of pastoralism that goes beyond conventional economic criteria in order to provide fresh insights to its contribution to poverty reduction, sustainable environmental management and the economic development of dryland areas of East Africa in the context of increasing climate uncertainty. This paper proposes such a framework.

This paper seeks to provide national and international policy-makers interested in the development of arid and semi-arid areas with background information and policy options, on whether and how to invest in mobility of pastoral systems in Africa. It first describes the trends leading to declining mobility, followed by a description of the key underlying causes for these trends and their impacts on mobile pastoralists. It then provides the rationale for investments and concludes with policy options which policy-makers face when deciding on priorities to be allocated to overall pastoral development, and to specific actions within pastoral development.

This toolkit gathers together information on 10 tools that have been successfully used by members of the International Land Coalition (ILC) to promote, protect, and strengthen the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. It is intended to facilitate mutual learning based on the good practices of specific ILC members. The opportunity to share knowledge is one of the main benefits of being part of a network like the ILC. Use these tools, adapt them to your specific context, share them with your partner organisations, and share with us your achievements and successes!

The collection of research presented in this brief explores the roles of collective action and property rights in influencing incentives for rangeland management. The underlying premise is that collective action and property rights are important for the sustainable management of rangelands, watersheds and for technological innovation and adoption. Investments in rangelands restoration requires that individuals and groups are assured of long-term security to the use of the resource, and the necessary authority to protect their restored rangeland. At the same time, research presented here also highlights the role of both external and internal factors in influencing the evolution of property rights and the collective capacities of groups to manage natural resources within the context of environmental variability. Both dimensions of research provide a deeper reflection on how policies can be crafted to enhance rural livelihoods while sustaining the rangeland resource base.

This book was inspired by our interaction with the Raika, the traditional livestock breeders of Rajasthan. From them we learned about the relationships between humans, animals and the environment that shape livestock genetic resources and generate indigenous breeds. This publication provides a welcome opportunity to redress some of the common misperceptions about indigenous livestock breeders. It describes the threats to these breeds of livestock and how to document them as a first step in conserving them in collaboration with the communities where they evolved.
