Climate change science has been discussed and synthesized by the world's best minds at unprecedented scales. Now that the Kyoto Protocol may become a reality, it is time to be realistic about the likelihood of success of mitigation activities. Pastoral lands in the tropics hold tremendous sequest...


Reid, Robin S.Thornton, Philip K.McCrabb, G.J.Kruska, R.L.Atieno, F.Jones, Peter G.[Is it possible to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in pastoral ecosystems of the tropics?]Is it possible to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in pastoral ecosystems of the tropics?

Few studies of land-use/land-cover change provide an integrated assessment of the driving forces and consequences of that change, particularly in Africa. Our objectives were to determine how driving forces at different scales change over time, how these forces affect the dynamics and patterns of ...

A joint International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and African Conservation Centre (ACC) report undertaken for the Kitengela community

The present study uses georeferenced community level data to study the adoption of improved cowpea in northern Nigeria. One objective of this study is to find out which factors of the community of village level are significant determinants of adoption of improved dual-purpose (DP) cowpea variatie...

This paper examines how controlling livestock trypanosomiasis, transmitted by tsetse-fly (Glossina spp.), affects the rate and location of agricultural expansion in Ghibe Valley, Ethiopia. Control of the disease will reduce animal mortality, increase productivity per animal and cause livestock po...

The question of whether the contentious situation at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania, engendered by human population growth, agricultural intensification and perceptions of proper and sustainable land use, is a prevalent problem on a broader continental scale is addressed.


Ellis, J.Reid, Robin S.Thornton, Philip K.Kruska, R.L.[Population growth and land-use change among pastoral people: Local processes and continental patterns. Poster]Population growth and land-use change among pastoral people: Local processes and continental patterns. Poster

In southwestern Ethiopia, recent chaotic events, changes in land tenure and introduction of tsetse fly [Glossina tachinoides] control have precipitated changes in the use of land and other natural resources. In turn, these changes have initiated shifts in rangeland biodiversity. Unexpectedly, sma...
