Participatory mapping of rangelands has proved to be a vital and powerful information-generating tool for identifying and understanding the use of rangeland resources and access to them. This paper presents a mapping exercise that took place in the Ng’abolo village in Kiteto District in Tanzania.

Las regiones áridas ocupan el 41,3% de los continentes, 6,5 millones de kilómetros cuadrados donde habitan unos 2.000 millones de personas, de los cuales 650 millones se encuentran entre los más pobres de los pobres. El 40% de estos territorios es aprovechado por pastores nómadas, el 25% por rancheros, el 12% por agricultores de secano y el 2% de regadío. El pastoreo extensivo desempeña un papel fundamental en la absorción del carbono atmosférico, reduciendo la erosión, conservando el agua, favoreciendo la actividad icrobiana y la incorporación de nutrientes, mejorando la estructura del suelo y su productividad. El manejo adecuado de los pastizales, la plantación de arbolado y las correctas prácticas agrícolas pueden fijar del 10 al 20% de las emisiones globales de combustibles fósiles, por lo que la conservación del pastoreo extensivo se plantea como una de las grandes alternativas para el desarrollo sostenible y la adaptación al cambio climático durante las próximas décadas.

When considering climate change, marginalized populations and pastoralists, warrant particular attention. Impacts on their territories and communities are anticipated to be both early and severe due to their location in vulnerable environments. Community-based and local knowledge may offer valuable insights into environmental change due to climate change, and complement broader-scale scientific research with local precision and nuance.
This report provides an overview of the published scientific literature (primarily peer-reviewed, but also grey) relating to the contribution of traditional/indigenous knowledge to our understanding of global climate change: observations, impacts, and opportunities for adaptation.

Los países industrializados estamos afectando gravísimamente al medio ambiente de nuestro planeta, comprometiendo el futuro de toda la Humanidad. Es urgente reducir de inmediato nuestras emisiones de CO2 para que comiencen a decrecer antes de 2020, limitándolas a cero antes de 2050 respecto a los niveles de 1990. Para ello los países industrializados debemos modificar radicalmente nuestro modelo energético y nuestras pautas de consumo para intentar mitigar la crisis global que estamos provocando. Pero, junto a la reducción inmediata de las emisiones es necesario fomentar también los sumideros de carbono, que permitan retirar de la atmósfera el exceso de CO2 generado durante este último siglo.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Health for Animals and Livelihood Improvement (HALI) Project collaborated with pastoralist communities living near the south-eastern border of Ruaha National Park in Tanzania to identify key diseases impacting livestock herd health. This information was then used to create this illustrated livestock health manual. This is particularly useful at the local level where it can be understood by most people in the communities where literacy rates may vary.

This publication presents an analysis of women’s role in the sustainable use, development and conservation of animal genetic resources. The importance of small-scale famers and pastoralists as custodians of these resources is well recognized, but has never previously been disaggregated by gender. The differential roles of men and women have largely been neglected in studies of animal genetic resources management, but by piecing together several strands of argument and indirect evidence it can be concluded that women are the main guardians of livestock diversity.
Global trends in the livestock sector – particularly the shift from subsistence-oriented to market-oriented production, the sedentarization and disintegration of pastoralism, and the emergence of demand for niche market products – are analysed from the perspective of their influence on gender roles in livestock keeping and animal genetic resources management. Likewise, women’s role in the reproductive economy is analysed from the perspective of how this influences the type of livestock they keep.
Case studies from many regions of the world illustrate that while to a degree women acquire their role as guardians of diversity by default because of global trends, many also make an active and conscious contribution to the management of animal genetic resources.

Over the last 30 years, Sahelian pastoral livestock farming has undergone major institutional, socioeconomic, climatic and agroecological changes, which have had a profound impact on the lifestyle of increasingly vulnerable rural people. For this atlas, SIPSA and partners collected and analysed information products which confirmed these trends, but also revealed the scarcity of historical data and specific indicators required to refine the analyses and characterize, foresee and manage pastoral crises. An analysis of the 1972/202 period highlighted the overall trends.
