Routledge - The Governance of Rangelands Book

Explore the complex relationship between landscape management and mobile pastoralism in The Governance of Rangelands: Collective Action for Sustainable Pastoralism. Published by Routledge, this book examines large natural landscapes including grasslands, shrublands, savannahs, and woodlands. These environments are heavily influenced by herbivores, which are often found in domestic herds managed by mobile pastoralists. Many pastoralists utilize communal management to gain flexibility and seasonal access to resources through common property regimes. This book investigates the significant challenges these systems create for governance and institutions. It provides a detailed look at how collective action impacts the sustainability of these vital ecosystems. This text is a valuable resource for understanding the institutional frameworks required to manage rangelands effectively in a changing world.
