This paper seeks to provide national and international policy-makers interested in the development of arid and semi-arid areas with background information and policy options, on whether and how to invest in mobility of pastoral systems in Africa. It first describes the trends leading to declining mobility, followed by a description of the key underlying causes for these trends and their impacts on mobile pastoralists. It then provides the rationale for investments and concludes with policy options which policy-makers face when deciding on priorities to be allocated to overall pastoral development, and to specific actions within pastoral development.

This toolkit gathers together information on 10 tools that have been successfully used by members of the International Land Coalition (ILC) to promote, protect, and strengthen the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. It is intended to facilitate mutual learning based on the good practices of specific ILC members. The opportunity to share knowledge is one of the main benefits of being part of a network like the ILC. Use these tools, adapt them to your specific context, share them with your partner organisations, and share with us your achievements and successes!

The collection of research presented in this brief explores the roles of collective action and property rights in influencing incentives for rangeland management. The underlying premise is that collective action and property rights are important for the sustainable management of rangelands, watersheds and for technological innovation and adoption. Investments in rangelands restoration requires that individuals and groups are assured of long-term security to the use of the resource, and the necessary authority to protect their restored rangeland. At the same time, research presented here also highlights the role of both external and internal factors in influencing the evolution of property rights and the collective capacities of groups to manage natural resources within the context of environmental variability. Both dimensions of research provide a deeper reflection on how policies can be crafted to enhance rural livelihoods while sustaining the rangeland resource base.

This book was inspired by our interaction with the Raika, the traditional livestock breeders of Rajasthan. From them we learned about the relationships between humans, animals and the environment that shape livestock genetic resources and generate indigenous breeds. This publication provides a welcome opportunity to redress some of the common misperceptions about indigenous livestock breeders. It describes the threats to these breeds of livestock and how to document them as a first step in conserving them in collaboration with the communities where they evolved.

In May 2002, ICIMOD and the Tibetan Academy of Agriculture and Animal Sciences organised an international workshop on 'The Changing Face of Pastoralism in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan - Tibetan plateau Highlands', to build a mutual understanding of the realities of highland pastoralism in the HKH-Tibetan plateau: the factors that have contributed to marginalisation, the response, the challenges faced by development workers and policy makers, existing programmes and policies, and future policy strategies. This publication provides summaries of 12 papers on aspects ranging from integrated pastoral production research, through various aspects of integrated development approaches, to participation as a driving force in the process of development and conservation initiatives. This will be of interest to all those concerned with helping the people of the rangelands to improve their livelihoods, and interested in the constraints and possibilities.

La trascendencia ecológica que ha tenido y tiene la trashumancia tradicional de las razas de ganado autóctono es extraordinariamente importante para el mantenimiento sostenible de los procesos productivos y para la conservación de nuestros ecosistemas más valiosos. Sin embargo, las políticas actuales están llevando en gran medida al deterioro y pérdida de estas vías pecuarias. El posible uso múltiple de las mismas puede favorecer su permanencia siempre que estos usos complementarios sean compatibles con la actividad del ganado.
