A global gathering for the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, organised in Madrid in April, offered lessons from Spain to Madagascar and beyond.

Fires play a crucial role in maintaining thriving grasslands around the world. So why is fire so often portrayed as a wholly destructive force?

REPAiR Project members will discuss our research in a session at POLLEN26, the international conference of the Political Ecology Network.

The REPAiR Project shared research insights with policy makers and others at the launch of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) in Antananarivo.

The crucial question of who ‘owns’ rangelands in South Africa is shaped by overlapping forces – traditional authorities, colonial legacies and more recently-formed grazing associations.
