This video shows some of the main challenges of the Raikas, a semi nomadic community in Rajasthan, India and how ICARDA responds to them. Change of land use, climate change and little social recognition for mobile livelihoods make it harder for the Raikas to find water and pasture.

This study focuses on pastoralism’s current and future potential for securing sustainable management and green economy outcomes from the world’s rangelands. It synthesises existing evidence and uses practical examples from mobile pastoralism in Europe, Latin America, North America, Central, Western and Southern Asia, Australia and throughout Africa to both demonstrate the system’s inherent characteristics for adaptive sustainability and some of the key opportunities and challenges for promoting development in rangelands. Finally, the study identifies the key enabling conditions required for pastoralism to deliver on its potential role in a Green Economy.

Large-scale land acquisitions have increased in scale and pace. The areas most affected are the global “commons” – lands that local people traditionally use collectively — including much of the world’s forests, wetlands, and rangelands. In some cases land acquisition occurs with environmental objectives in sight – including the setting aside of land as protected areas for biodiversity conservation. There is a potential opportunity here for greater collaboration between conservation interests, and local communities’ land rights interests with their supporters amongst human rights and social justice movements. This issue paper documents experiences from the rangelands of Mongolia, Kenya, India, Ethiopia, and other countries.

This study explores the nature of ecosystem services provided by livestock species and breeds, with special consideration to the important contributions to these by small-scale livestock keepers and pastoralists. Livestock species and breeds are key components of agro-ecosystems. They provide provisioning services (such as the supply of food, fibres and skins), supporting and regulating services (such as waste recycling or weed control) and cultural services (such as cultural heritage and identity). The study describes the most serious constraints and opportunities to the provision of ecosystem services. It identifies international instruments and bodies that support and can further promote the actual and potential roles of livestock species and breeds, as well as their keepers in the provision of ecosystem services.

Pastoral mobility must be preserved to ensure Mongolian rangeland sustainability. Pastoralism in Mongolia is currently going through major transformations (pasture user groups, cooperatives, draft Land Law, climate change, conflicting forms of land use i.e. mining, cropping, national reserves). In this new context, the value of mobility might not be fully appreciated in new policy formulations, which could weaken Mongolian pastoral systems. Supporting mobility requires an adequate institutional framework in the provision of services (e.g. water, veterinary, education and health) and institutional flexibility with stronger and reciprocal intersoum inter-aymag agreements for hosting neighboring herders during climate shocks.
