Niger’s experience in terms of pastoralists’ mobility and cattle circulation rights is a model and may be presented through an overview of some key relevant laws. This overview reveals that the policies boil down to a few strong principles, and Niger’s contribution to the sub-region’s recognition of the need for and usefulness of mobility (international transhumance) in the ECOWAS zone. Asserting these principles has assured pastoralists recognition of their activity, their way of life, and their specific rights across an important portion of the national territory. However, in the study area, the enforcement of texts is not beneficial to pastoralists and in a context of a strong demographic growth, recognition of their rights is made more difficult by the rush for land tenure. As a result of the loss of consideration for their way of life and the lack of recognition of their contribution to the development of pastoral areas, they are asking for the States Generals on pastoralism to be convened to allow them to contribute to the Pastoral Code in preparation.

The study contributes to building an enabling environment for pastoral sustainable rangeland management through enhanced local-level advocacy based on sound knowledge management on the impact of current policies on pastoralism. This Sudan case study is focused on the national policy towards Traditional Livestock Migration Routes (Darfur States Case). The study evaluates the success of the intervention carried by The Administrative Committee for Routes Delineation - Darfur States (ACRD-DS) and the impact this has had on the wider pastoralist environment. It contributes to WISP’s efforts to demonstrate that, given an enabling policy environment, pastoralists can be the best custodians of the drylands environment.

Mobile pastoralism is the most sustainable way to manage the World’s rangelands, and alternative land-uses come at an environmental and an economic cost. The magnitude of those costs is not properly understood, and they may well be incurred with many people not noticing. If countries that possess significant rangelands desire to reverse desertification and overcome poverty, then it is crucial that they recognise the environmental logic of mobile pastoralism and its great economic potential.
