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.

Este estudio se centra en el potencial actual y futuro del pastoralismo para obtener resultados positivos derivados de la gestión sostenible y la economía verde de los pastizales del mundo. Sintetiza las pruebas existentes y utiliza ejemplos prácticos del pastoralismo móvil en Europa, América Latina, América del Norte, Asia central, occidental y meridional, Australia y en toda África, tanto para demostrar las características inherentes del sistema para la sostenibilidad de la adaptación como algunas de las principales oportunidades y desafíos para promover el desarrollo de las tierras de pastoreo. Por último, el estudio identifica las principales condiciones necesarias para que el pastoralismo pueda hacer realidad su posible función en una economía verde.

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.

This evaluation has three objectives: i) evaluate the overall relevance and coherence of AFD Group interventions; ii) assess the performance of pastoral water projects; iii) propose strategies for continuing the process (with significant changes) or gradually winding it down. This exercise covered 11 projects implemented in three areas of Chad between 1993 and 2013.

El pastoralismo forma parte fundamental de los tres pilares de la sostenibilidad y ofrece una combinación de beneficios sociales, ambientales y económicos. Explota vastas áreas de tierra que pueden ser más adecuadas para usos múltiples: la producción extensiva de productos alimenticios de alta calidad en combinación con la prestación de servicios de los ecosistemas de alto valor. Las políticas, los servicios públicos y las inversiones deben adaptarse para apoyar esta combinación de usos y para asegurar que la gama completa de beneficios sean adecuadamente compensados y protegidos.
