Rangelands, Drylands & Pastoralism
In this completely revised and updated issue page we provide fresh insights into the challenges and risks facing diverse pastoralist communities across the globe from the Sahel to Siberia. Learn about rangelands and drylands worldwide and how they are impacted by anthropogenic climate change. Review current international policy and law to critically assess their effectiveness in protecting pastoralist rights and livelihoods. Explore the risks posed by the growing market in carbon offsets and how related conservation initiatives can impact negatively on rangelands and savannas which are often mischaracterized as deforested and degraded lands. Dive deeper to explore the position of women and youth in pastoral communities. Challenge common assumptions about the future of pastoralism so as to reimagine possible ways forward.
