E50,000 funding for livestock project

摘要

Communal rangelands systems in Africa are threatened by land degradation, overgrazing and breakdown of local institutions, with detrimental implications for provision of ecosystem services, biodiversity and human livelihoods. Enhancing the productivity of these rangeland systems requires identification and implementation of grazing and land management practices which are both ecologically sound and socially acceptable to local communities. In northern Kenya, some pastoral communities, with assistancefrom externaldevelopment agencies, are implementing rotational grazing coupled with strategic livestock corralling across degraded sites, with a view to enhancing rangeland health and livestock productivity.
