Resource Assessment and Land Use Planning in Sri Lanka: A Case Study

This review does not attempt to be comprehensive. Instead, we highlight:

benchmarks in the evolution of land use policies in Sri Lanka;
-
the actual contribution made to decisions about land use by systematic information on land resources.

Carrying capacity, rangeland degredation and livestock development for the communal rangelands of Botswana
Recent arguments have stated that the new livestock development policy will carry a high social cost, that the reality of range degradation in Botswana has been ignored, and that there is no basis for assuming that de-stocking would decrease the productivity of rangeland.
Carrying capacity, rangeland degradation and livestock development for the communal rangelands of Botswana
A useful debate is developing over carrying capacity and the degradation of communal rangelands in sub-Saharan Africa. With a few lonely exceptions, scientists and policy-makers have in the past claimed that degradation is universal and livestock productivity lowered because of overstocking on communal range. This position has been mainly dogmatic. More recent research has not supported dogmatists; hence the debate, which impinges on livestock development policy in Botswana.A new livestock development policy is being promoted by the Government of Botswana (Ministry of Agriculture 1991).
Range degradation in Botswana: Myth or reality?
Paper attempts to dispel some of the confusion surrounding the application of the range degradation concept in Botswana. It has three objectives. First, to present the current thinking of range ecologists vis-a-vis range degradation. Second, to dismiss recent arguments that range degradation in Botswana is insignificant.
