Resumen
Descripción
Pastoralists' indigenous knowledge
(IK) about ecology and social organization led to
rangeland-management strategies appropriate to deal with the
erratic rainfall in African drylands. Herd mobility was
traditionally practiced as the key strategy to make use of
the scattered rangeland resources on a large scale.
