Los derechos milenarios de los ganaderos a desplazarse libremente por el territorio nacional fueron reconocidos en 1212 en Aragón por Jaime I, con el Fuero de Pastura universal, y en 1273 en Castilla y León por Alfonso X, con la creación del Concejo de la Mesta. La importancia que adquirió la trashumancia en España es debida a la alternancia de recursos pastables alternativos en invierno y en verano, para lo cual los ganados deben desplazarse frecuentemente a larga distancia, entre 400 y 600 Km, recorriendo las cañadas durante 4 o 6 semanas en primavera y algo más en otoño, al ser las noches más prolongadas. El mayor beneficio se obtenía del comercio de la lana de las ovejas merinas, la más fina del mundo, y que se exportaba a todos los países europeos. Constituyó un preciado monopolio español hasta la invasión napoleónica del siglo XIX.

Recognizing the crucial role of dryland mountains in implementing a truly sustainable development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) together with the Mountain Partnership Secretariat, the UNCCD Secretariat, the Centre for Development and Environment of the University of Bern and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, identified an urgent need to prepare this publication. It provides an overall vision of the ecological, social and cultural features of dryland mountain socio-ecosystems, and aims to demonstrate the importance of investing human and financial resources in dryland mountains ecosystems worldwide in order to limit the impact of global change on the livelihoods and natural resources.

Despite worldwide coverage of climate change impact, there is inter and intra-sectoral variation in vulnerability depending on location, adaptive capacity and other socioeconomic and environmental factors. In Somaliland, adverse impacts of climate change include recurrent droughts, increased biodiversity loss, species migration and encroachment of invasive plants, increased rural urban migration, changes in the vegetation types, soil fertility loss, and increased infestation of crop by pests and diseases and increased health risks.
This publication presents case-studies documented by Candlelight for Health, Education and Environment, focusing on how climate change is impacting the pastoral communities and environment as a whole in the different ecological zones of Somaliland.

The regional workshops within the mountain development programme of InWEnt aim at addressing pressing problems of mutual interest among the participating partners by focusing on a specific topic. In 2010 two conferences on pastoralism were held in the framework of the mountain development programme. Complementing the series that started with the Khorog and Kashgar workshops in July the Lhasa gathering happened to be the final part with a special focus on pastoralism and rangeland management on the Tibetan Plateau. It seems to have been the appropriate timing to emphasize upon a pressing issue that is generating increased and rejuvenated interest in the debates on biodiversity, climate and global change. Planners are challenged by designing concepts for nature protection and resource management in order to implement “green policies”. Decision-makers keep in mind the dual challenges between livelihood improvement and natural resource management by translating and transferring it into modernisation programmes. Far-reaching policies that aim at a reconciliation between ecological necessities and economic demands are tested and implemented in a grand design. Especially the Tibetan Plateau is an arena where the term eco-shelter has become a specific meaning that is affecting the reconciliation between nature and society as well as leading to far-reaching transformations in settlement structures and economic strategies. Recent interventions have changed and modified pastoral practices, terminated and extinguished certain traditions and opened-up new hitherto unknown and unexpected opportunities for pastoralists on the Tibetan Plateau. On the vast Tibetan Plateau pastoralism and rangeland management are not only challenges for regional planning, both sectors offer a tremendous economic potential and are proof for the adaptive properties and resilience of pastoralists exposed to harsh environmental conditions and all kinds of changes.
