The case studies in this paper are drawn from several Ethiopian regional states. They describe not only why, how, and when pastoralists plan, but also the management and governance structures that control planning processes and the later implementation of the plans. By doing this, the paper provides guidance on how best such planning processes can be supported, and how they can be integrated with and/or built on by other planning processes such as those led by government.

This article presents the results of interviews done with Hungarian cattle herders and shepherds. This article’s key message is that cattle herders and shepherds with their traditional ecological knowledge, have a significant role in sustaining the ‘functioning’ of nature preserved in cultural landscapes. Herders do have a place in protecting ecosystem services and biodiversity, and contribute a great deal to ensure the natural environment which we have received from our ancestors is handed over to the upcoming generations.

This article discusses the impacts of climatic change on sable hunting for the Evenk, a minority indigenous people of Russia. Sables (a small carnivorous mammal) are mainly hunted for their fur. Climate change leads to specific environmental changes, which in turn creates changes in traditional economic practices, which then triggers socio-economic problems among a population that needs to adapt its hunting techniques.
