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.

The idea that ‘green’ ecosystems are automatically more healthy is based on a long history of assumptions about nature.

An interview with Brahim El Guabli about the origins and legacy of bias against deserts in colonial science and culture, and the myth of the default ‘green’ landscape.

We should question deep rooted assumptions about how pastoralists, livestock and wildlife can co-exist.
