Abstract

As the primary grassland actor, the attitudes and perceptions of herders are crucial in determining grassland use and condition, and as such they are a powerful agent of change. This chapter examines what are meaningful livelihoods to herders, and the strategies they adopt to achieve these livelihoods. The link between the grassland environment and these livelihood strategies is also explored, as are the links between the institutional settings and macrodevelopments discussed in Chapter 2, and their livelihoods. The chapter concludes by identifying and discussing more livelihood focused environmental policies.
