Ground-Based Monitoring: a Process of Learning by Doing.

Abstract: Rangeland monitoring using ground-based methods has been presented as a major instrument in the management of rangelands. Yet there are some doubts about its utility as a stand-alone tool in providing reliable, objective evidence on range trend. If the technology is to have relevance in rangeland management at the landholder level, stronger recognition and direction is required for other, potentially important roles, that contribute to the development of knowledge applied to management. This position recognise… Show more

“…(e.g. Burnside and Chamala, 1994;Bosch et al, 1996b;Allen, 1997;Abbott and Guijt, 1998). These approaches recognise that science alone cannot provide all the answers, and must be combined with a structured process of local participation that emphasises shared learning and locally-relevant indicators and methods.…”

“…Implementing systems to provide information concerning land condition under grazing upon which management and regulatory decisions can be made, and if necessary enforced, has long been a key issue. In Australia, as elsewhere, resource inventories and monitoring systems, have become central to this aspect of rangeland administration , Abraham and Stanley 1986, Holm 1986, Burnside and Faithful 1993, Burnside and Chamala 1994, Donovan, 1995.…”

“…First, it can provide opportunities for self-directed learning by pastoralists, in which the 'data from ground-based sites provides the concrete experience needed to stimulate reflective observation and learning' (Burnside and Chamala 1994, p. 225). Second, in concert with its role in encouraging reflective learning, monitoring can complement and assist pastoralist decision-making processes (Burnside and Chamala 1994). As Burnside and Chamala (1994) note, however, in their 1994 review of monitoring by landholders, such schemes are at an 'uncertain' stage -their methods of questionable value in assessing change, and the schemes not yet embraced by landholders.…”
