The impact of human endeavours on the environment in the struggle to eke out a living through crop and animal agriculture is examined in a holistic context. Analyses focus on all the sources of pressure that modify the vegetation cover of rural Africa, including the effects of fires and burning o...

For a long time, trypanosomosis, spread by the tsetse fly Glossina, constrained human settlement in the Lambwe Valley, a south-western Kenya rangeland. After lengthy efforts to control tsetse over many years, the valley is currently experiencing an increase in human population growth rate, and r...

More of the land surface of the earth is used for grazing than for any other purpose (FAO 1999, WRI 2000, Asner et al. 2004, Ojima and Chuluun, Chapter 8). Although livestock and wildlife graze in forests and woodlands, we focus here on the lands where most herding peoples and their livestock gra...

Human action has modified the earth in many ways, but one of the most pervasive effects of humans on the environment is dissection of natural systems into spatially isolated parts, a process generally known as fragmentation. Fragmentation of environments is not only caused by humans; dynamic natu...


Hobbs, N.T.Reid, Robin S.Galvin, K.A.Ellis, J.E.[Fragmentation of arid and semi-Arid ecosystems: Implications for people and animals]Fragmentation of arid and semi-Arid ecosystems: Implications for people and animals

Exploring the concept of fragmentation, the ecological processes interrupted by fragmentation, and the social consequences of fragmented landscapes, this book presents a timely synthesis on the effects of fragmentation on arid and semi-arid pastoral systems throughout the world. The global signi...

Arid rangelands host a variety of drought-tolerant wildlife species, many of them requiring conservation efforts for the survival of their populations. The development of drinking water sources for people and livestock forms one of the main development interventions in these rangelands. However, ...

Livestock production systems in Africa are experiencing rapid changes in structure and function due to increased demands for livestock products from a more prosperous and ever-increasing human population. Some of these changes could lead to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. This paper expl...
