   Despite their ecological, economic and social importance, Mediterranean grasslands continue to receive limited scientific, political and media attention. Grasslands are typically viewed as underutilized space, able to be transformed into more “valuable” land by placing it under cultivation, transforming it into forest land and/or privatizing it. This paper synthesizes a number of pertinent issues in relation to social and economic systems on grasslands within the southern Mediterranean region.

   The concern for the well-being of land is often directly related to one’s proximity to the land, be it physically, economically or culturally. Land is more precious if one’s livelihood depend on it immediately than if one is merely a visitor. Land is valued differently if it is the base of one’s power or wealth than if one’s community is in need of its integrity and depends on the ecosystem services (ESS) that it provides. To some extent, this may explain the great challenge UNCCD has experienced in mustering international support for its mandate.

   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 consequentialsurface runoff inevitably acceleratessoil erosion and gullying. To counter-measure the

   With current rates of land degradation reaching
   ten to twelve million ha per year, there is an
   urgent need to scale up and out successful,
   profitable and resource-efficient sustainable
   land management practices to maintain the
   health and resilience of the land that humans
   depend on. As much as 500 million out of
   two billion ha of degraded land, mainly in
   developing countries, have restoration potential,
   offering an immediate target for restoration
   and rehabilitation initiatives.1 In the past,
