Description:
Pastoralism, or extensive grazing on rangelands for livestock production, is a key production system of the world’s dryland
areas. It provides a livelihood for between 100 and 200 million people (CBD Secretariat 2010), supplies 10% of the world’s meat
production through approximately one billion heads of livestock, and makes a significant economic contribution to some of the world’s poorest regions (FAO 2001; WISP 2010).
