Can formalisation of pastoral land tenure overcome its paradoxes? Reflections from East Africa por Robinson, Lance W., Flintan, Fiona E.

“…We identify the main challenges that land policy interventions in East Africa face and ways in which the conceptual models of shared property rights embodied in current land tenure regimes are not well adapted to the socio-ecological characteristics of some rangeland landscapes. We argue that policy interventions capable of overcoming the paradox of pastoral tenure and strengthening tenure security while addressing herders’ needs for mobility and flexibility will often involve the progressive recognition of layers of sometimes overlapping rights, rather than attempts to subdivide landscapes into simple mosaics of discrete communal territories. …”

Overstocking the range: A critical analysis of the environmental science of Sahelian pastoralism por Turner, M.

“…There has been little experimental work in West Africa that distinguishes grazing from climate effects on rangeland vegetation. In the absence of such Knowledge, the recurrence of boom-bust cycles in livestock populations, along with the seemingly degraded state of semiarid range, have been used to support notions of the inevitability of overgrazing. …”
