Pastoralists' livelihood was threatened by Prosopis invasion of farm and pastor land in the study area of Afar region. Thus, this research paper aimed to deliver empirical evidence on the links between household perception regarding Prosopis juliflora, and pastoral livelihood diversification strategy.

Accordingly these suggest that perception of household that consider it as good and livelihood diversification is conducive for controlling species invasion, environmental and livelihood sustainability in the study area.
