Opis

This book is organized and based on perception of the local community, floristic composition and soil properties of the rangeland. All the information gathered suggested that degradation of rangeland was the main challenge of the pastoralists. Therefore, livelihood of the local community is highly vulnerable even to minor climatic shocks due to reduction in livestock number and production. Some recommendations are forwarded and based on the indigenous knowledge of the local community and findings.
