About the Book

Rangelands are those parts of the world where pastoral people graze native and domestic herbivores on native vegetation. Here the natural and fossil resources are utilized by other people for a host of purposes including fuels and minerals, water catchment, ecotourism and recreation, nature conservation and carbon sinks. More than half of the earth's land surface is rangeland. This book contains new concepts and systems approaches of use for the management of rangeland resources by the people that live there and the institutions and organizations that support them. These emerged from the VI International Rangeland Congress on "People and Rangelands: Building the Future" held in July 1999 in Townsville, Australia. It explores and analyzes all aspects of rangeland people and the resources they manage.
