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...

Much of the effort to include communities in conservation of large landscapes has been driven by interests outside the savannas, either by national governments, NGOs, or foreign conservationists (Neumann 2002, Brockington et al. 2008). Once included in conservation planning only as an afterthough...

Trypanosomiasis diseases are caused by single-cell organisms and affect both humans and cattle. This indicative study modelled the effect of climate change and population growth on the future range of tsetse flies, their main vector, in sub- Saharan Africa. Projected climate change to 2030 has a ...

All eastern Africa is in the tropics, but its grasslands cover a very wide range of altitudes. Extensive grasslands are mostly in arid and semi -arid zones. The area is subject to droughts and a high degree of pastoral risk. Potential vegetation is largely desert and semi-desert, bush and woodlan...
