    Jordanie, Asie occidentale

    Jordan's rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of over-exploitation of the ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons and highly erratic rainfalls. In the recent decades, the once productive grazing lands transformed into sparsely vegetated and crusted desert grounds not capable of retaining the sporadic rainwater within the landscape - and consequential surface runoff inevitably accelerates soil erosion and gullying.

    La maca (Lepidium meyenii) es una raíz andina a la cual se le atribuyen propiedades energéticas y estimulantes. En los últimos años el interés de mercados asiáticos dio lugar al “boom de la maca”, incrementando los precios y provocando la rápida conversión de pastizales altoandinos en tierras de cultivo, transformando de esta manera el paisaje, el ecosistema, la economía y la sociedad rural de la zona altoandina de Junín.

    In pastoral societies women face many challenges. Some describe these as a ‘double burden’ –
    that is, as pastoralists and as women. However, pastoral women may obtain a significant degree
    of protection from customary law even if customary institutions are male-dominated. In periods
    of change (economic, social, political), this protection may be lost, and without protection from
    statutory laws, women are in danger of “falling between two stools” (Adoko and Levine 2009). A

    In Tanzania, ongoing land insecurity is a structural cause of food insecurity particularly for
    pastoralists, agro-pastoralists and small-scale crop farmers leading to land use conflicts,
    compromised access to resources including grazing and water and rangeland degradation.
    Land tenure security and management can be improved through village land use planning (VLUP)
    and land certification – namely the issuing of certificates of customary rights of occupancy
    (CCROs). In situations where villages share resources such as grazing areas and water, joint village

    Cameroun, Afrique, Afrique occidentale

    In Cameroon, rangelands occupy about 20 % of surface area; provide critical habitat to many animal and

    plant species; offer many vital goods and services to society and are home to pastoralists, agropastoralists,

    crop farmers, fishermen and hunter-gatherers, who for centuries co-existed peacefully. In

    recent years this harmony is being threatened by changing land use patterns, poor land use planning and

    poor recognition of ownership rights. Despite efforts by state and non-state actors to improve pastoral

    Livestock has been an integral part of the Bale Mountains Eco-Region landscape for many centuries. This

    paper describes the results of a research study undertaken in the region comparing land use change and

    livestock movements over a period of eight years from 2008 to 2016. The study provides some insights

    into the trends of intensification that have taken place, the challenges of this, and indications of who is

    benefiting from these processes and who is not. In 2008 the majority of the area was predominantly
