An extremely dynamic environment compounded by frequent and severe shocks, especially droughts, limit the livelihood opportunities available to millions of households in the fragile drylands of Africa. If the current situation is precarious, the future promises to be even more challenging. This book discusses what should be the focus of the next generation of interventions aimed at enhancing the resilience of vulnerable dryland populations in the face of demographic, economic, environmental, and climatic change.

This study regards two herding/conservation systems (salt steppes and wood-pastures), and developed an inventory on the common/similar and conflicting/different objectives and pasture management practices of herders and conservationists. Extensive land-use often survives in protected areas only, in the form of conservation management. The study suggests a new profession: that of the conservation herder. The conservation herder shall be an individual knowledgeable about herding and pasture management, and trained in conservation and ecology.

Pastoralists move their livestock with the seasons, in search of good pasture across the drylands. Recent droughts in Africa are making decision makers question the viability of pastoralism, particularly in the face of future climate variability and change. But their fears are founded on misconceptions.
