PASTORALIST PARTICIPATION AND NETWORKING IN POLICY DIALOGUE: DIMENSIONS AND CHALLENGES

Conference Papers & Reports
October, 2015
Global

Pastoralists have a unique relationship of mutual dependency with their livestock and their environment; the uniqueness of this relationship distinguishes them from other livestock keepers. They depend highly on the environment where they develop their livelihood, that they make productive through highly adapted animals, but at the same time the quality of this environment depends on how well they take care of it, which in turns depends on complex social regulations and on large-scale mobility. The way they keep their animals forms part of their daily life and of a complex culture.
