Após as inundações que arruinaram as partes central e sul da China em 1998, Pequim lançou o “programa Grain for Green” (ou “programa de conversão de terras agrícolas em florestas”) para resolver o problema da erosão do solo devido ao desmatamento. No âmbito do programa, as famílias rurais foram compensadas por suas terras agrícolas, as quais foram convertidas em terras florestais. Como resultado da iniciativa, a cobertura florestal chinesa aumentou de 8% em 1960 para os atuais 21%.

In Mongolia, the word “rangeland” is synonymous with “homeland.” It is a clue to the importance of rangelands in a country where a quarter of Mongolians are herders, and the wider livestock economy provides sustenance, income, and wealth to nearly half of the population. For many nomadic societies herding is at the core of their life. Around the world, rangelands support the livelihoods, social traditions, and resilience of 500 million people, primarily in low-income countries.
