This edited volume summarizes information about the situational
context, threats, problems, challenges and solutions for
sustainable pastoralism at a global scale. The book has four goals.
The first goal is to summarize the information about the history,
distribution and patterns of pastoralism and to identify the
importance of pastoralism from social, economic and environmental
perspectives. The results of an empirical investigation of the
environmental and socio-economic implications of pastoralism in
representative pastoral regions in the world are also incorporated.
The second goal is to argue that breaking coupled human-natural
systems of pastoralism leads to degradation of pastoral ecosystems
and to create an analysis framework to assess the vulnerability of
worldwide pastoralism. Our analysis framework provides approaches
to help comprehensively understand the transitions and the impacts
of human-natural systems in the pastoral regions in the world. The
third goal is to identify the successful models in promoting
coupled human-natural systems of pastoralism, and to learn lessons
of breaking coupled human-cultural pastoralism systems through
examining the representative cases in regions including Central
Asia, Southern and Eastern Asia, Northern and Eastern Africa, the
European Alps and South America. The fourth goal is to identify the
strategies to build the resilience of the coupled human-natural
systems of pastoralism worldwide. We hope that our book can
facilitate the further examination of sustainable development of
coupled human-natural systems of pastoralism by providing the
summaries of existing data and information related to the
pastoralism development, and by offering a framework for better
understanding and analysis of their social, economic and
environmental implications.
