Tag: climate and biodiversity series

Livestock are a major target for campaigns on climate change and biodiversity. But these sometimes ignore the experience and contributions of pastoralists. In this series of posts during 2021, we examine the links between pastoralism, climate and biodiversity in a major year for policy action.

Pastoralists and peasants have more in common than you might think – especially when it comes to how they deal with uncertainty.
This week, as part of our first #HerdingThroughUncertainties case, PASTRES looks at how the lives of pastoralists in Southern Tunisia offer lessons for how to share both wealth and risks.
Embracing uncertainty has become increasingly essential to all of us over the past year. Pastoralists live on the frontlines of a turbulent and unpredictable world. “Dramatic changes in the environmental, governance and financial domains have reconfigured and diversified the uncertainties embedding local livelihoods and their related stresses, shocks, and opportunities.” Read Michele Nori’s excellent working paper exploring five principles that pastoralists use to make a reliable living, and learn about how they might be of interest to the wider public.
