It was the traditional grazing land of the 'Azazme tribe.

I grew up herding, looking after our livestock goats, sheep and cattle.

The fate of pastoralism is an issue that concerns the majority of affected countries.

Pastoralism has long been a harrowing existence in the Horn of Africa.

A practical effect was government seizure of traditional communal grazing lands.

Most herders in Mongolia follow a pattern of nomadic or semi nomadic pastoralism.

In view of the state of winter herding areas, the present number of reindeer is high.

The process used for enforcing the limitations on grazing will be critical to the success of the programme.

In certain countries, grazing land reforms are brought about by the changing context of the development institutions.

Jordan also states that overgrazing reduced plant diversity and biomass in the rangelands.

Consideration of pastoralism and the sustainable use of rangelands should therefore be kept under review by the COP and its subsidiary bodies.

He can graze again, he can cut, he can bring in another species, like the lambs, or he can make hay for the winter.

After logging, logging waste prevents reindeer grazing and compacted snow hampers digging.

The increasing fragility of the range, overgrazing, lack of investment and inappropriate herding practices illustrate growing constraints.

Iraq contends that any degradation was caused by other factors, such as overgrazing and unsustainable land use.

Establishing limitations on animal numbers requires agreement on an initial allocation of grazing rights.

Traditional approaches used in the Badia to enforce grazing rights may play an important role in such a programme.

Pottery became widespread (with independent development in Central America) and animal husbandry (pastoralism) spread to Africa and Eurasia.

This choice is amply justified since overgrazing is a crucial problem owing to the considerable increase in animal density.

However, these innovations should not conceal the fact that the pastoral charters or codes still contain ambiguities and shortcomings that could leave pastoral farming with a permanent marginal status and exacerbate conflicts between different groups using the space.

Policymakers often view nomadic pastoralism as an archaic and unproductive way of life, with little economic benefit.

The Panel also notes that there is evidence that the presence of the refugees resulted in damage to or depletion of rangeland areas that are the subject of this claim.

The service sector in general has experienced growth in recent years, as has construction.

Likewise, in many parts of the world, tropical rainforest is being cleared for pasture land and food crops. The result is massive loss of habitat and destruction of species, yielding a tiny economic benefit at a huge social cost.

Secured grazing corridors are being established with the help of modern satellite imagery to orient nomads and their herds to appropriate areas.

Even though the National Forest and Park Service engages in forestry in only part of the area administered by the Committee, 35 per cent of the forest pastures in the winter grazing area and 48 per cent of those in the summer grazing area are subject to forestry operations by the State and private owners.

He used the example of a common grazing area in which each person by simply maximizing their own flock led to overgrazing and the depletion of the resource.

None of it helps to address the underlying problems of poverty, child mortality, water scarcity, and lack of livelihoods in places like Pakistan s Northwest Frontier Province, Sudan s Darfur region, or Somalia.

These problems are exacerbated by the forestry industry and big infrastructure like wind parks or hydropower that cut off reindeer herding routes and pastures.

To the extent feasible, the monitoring activities should build on the results of similar activities of Jordan's Pasture Resources Information and Monitoring Evaluation Unit ( PRIME ).

Pastoralism is steadily losing its margin of manoeuvre, as rangelands are being lost at an alarming rate.

The industry sector is the economy's largest and accounts for 46.4 of GDP (2012), this is followed by services (38.6 ) and agriculture (14.4 ).

Iraq further states that Iran has not accounted for factors unrelated to the invasion and occupation, such as overgrazing and over exploitation of land for agriculture.

The Panel believes that with appropriate control of grazing and off road vehicle activity, natural recovery times in these areas should be much shorter.
