“…Indeed, regarding these other climate-related risks, and Melhaoui et al (2018) reported that hot dry winds, in the two aforementioned localities, are recurrent and generate strong sandstorms, particularly in the summer. Vissoh et al (2012) and Yila and Resurreccion (2013) highlighted that winds are stronger, mainly during the dry season, respectively in southeast Benin and Northeastern Nigeria.…”

The high plateaus of eastern Morocco are already suffering from the adverse impacts of climate change (CC), as the local populations’ livelihoods depend mainly on extensive sheep farming and therefore on natural resources. This research identifies breeders’ perceptions about CC, examines whether they correspond to the recorded climate data and analyses endogenous adaptation practices taking into account the agroecological characteristics of the studied sites and the difference between breeders’ categories based on the size of owned sheep herd. Data on perceptions and adaptation were analyzed using the Chi-square independence and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Climate data were investigated through Mann-Kendall, Pettitt and Buishand tests.Herders’ perceptions are in line with the climate analysis in term of nature and direction of observed climate variations (downward trend in rainfall and upward in temperature). In addition, there is a significant difference in the adoption frequency of adaptive strategies between the studied agroecological sub-zones (χ2 = 14.525, p <.05) due to their contrasting biophysical and socioeconomic conditions, as well as among breeders’ categories (χ2 = 10.568, p < .05) which attributed mainly to the size of sheep flock. Policy options aimed to enhance local-level adaptation should formulate site-specific adaptation programs and prioritise the small-scale herders.

“…According to the World Bank (2013), this is affecting the economic growth of SSA countries, which are very dependent on agriculture. In addition, Vissoh et al (2012) reported that, over the long term, temperatures are expected to increase, leading to yield reductions and a large proliferation of weeds and pests. Furthermore, the rainfall variability is expected to lead to considerable postharvest losses.…”

In the context of climate change, climate variability has become a major issue in recent years in sub-Saharan countries. Climate information services (CIS) could be a vital resort for African producers to better manage climatic risks. This study aimed to identify CIS needs and analyze the most adapted dissemination channels while also determining factors that influence smallholder access. This was done with a gender lens where 1170 farmers (20% women) were surveyed from 11 regions in Senegal. Two probit regressions were performed. Results revealed that men and women have different needs for CIS, with 95% of women requesting information relating to the onset date of rainy season against 90% for men (p < 5%). Similarly, 46% of women prefer rural radios as a CIS broadcast channel compared to 39% of men (p < 5%). Also, the main factors influencing the access are ethnicity, area of residence, and farmers' perceptions of the utility of CIS. Among women, the native status and the willingness to act against climate change affect the access to CIS. Thus, to facilitate access to CIS for relevant decision-making, it remains important to capacitate farmers and to consider the producers' organizations as platforms for CIS dissemination and trainings.

“…Sous la conjugaison des péjorations climatiques et des activités humaines, les basfonds non encore aménagés de la zone soudano-sahélienne, connaissent une évolution environnementale marquée principalement par la dégradation des versants, l'assèchement des cours d'eau, le recul de la nappe phréatique, la disparition et la dégradation du couvert végétal ainsi que la régression de la phytodiversité (Bambara et al, 2013). La végétation et la flore des bas-fonds, caractéristiques des milieux fréquemment inondés, subissent également un changement (Soulama et al, 2015). Les indicateurs de changement de leur environnement sont perçus par les paysans.…”

Le Sahel burkinabé est caractérisé par une forte dégradation des ressources naturelles. Cette régression est imputable à des facteurs naturels et anthropiques. La présente étude concerne les bas-fonds du sous bassin versant du Nakanbé-Dem situé dans la limite australe du Sahel. Dans cette zone dominée par l’agriculture pluviale et l’élevage extensif, les zones humides revêtent une importance capitale. Face à leur dégradation continue, la participation des communautés est nécessaire pour une gestion durable des bas-fonds. Cette étude analyse les indicateurs endogènes de la dégradation des bas-fonds de la zone soudano-sahélienne. Des données d’enquêtes semi-structurées ont été collectées auprès de 325 exploitants de six bas-fonds. Des statistiques descriptives et une analyse factorielle par correspondance (AFC) ont été appliquées. Les résultats montrent que les paysans perçoivent clairement la dégradation des bas-fonds. Les paysans se servent d’éléments météorologiques, floristiques et physiques pour caractériser l’état de dégradation des bas-fonds. La disparition de plusieurs espèces et l’apparition d’espèces ubiquistes leur permettent d’évaluer la dégradation des terres des bas-fonds. Ces indicateurs endogènes varient en fonction du sexe et du niveau d’instruction. L’étude a souligné l’importance des connaissances endogènes dans l’analyse du phénomène de dégradation des bas-fonds. Elle suggère la nécessité d’en tenir compte désormais dans la mise en oeuvre des techniques de restauration des bas-fonds dégradés.Mots clés : Indicateurs endogènes ; dégradation des bas-fonds ; perceptions ; bassin versant, Burkina Faso. English Title: Farmers' Perceptions of lowland's natural resources degradation in Sudano Sahelian area: case of Nakanbe-Dem Sub-Watershed in Burkina FasoThe Burkina Faso Sahel is characterized by a great degradation of natural resources. This regression is due to natural and anthropogenic factors. This study concerns the lowlands of the Nakanbé-Dem sub-watershed, located in the northern limit of the Sahel. In this area dominated by rain farming and extensive livestock, wetlands are very important. In this context of continuous lowlands degradation, the participation of communities is necessary for a sustainable management. This study analyses the local indicators of lowlands’ degradation in Sudano-Sahelian zone. Data from semi-structured surveys were collected from 325 farmers in six lowlands of Nakanbé-Dem sub-watershed. Descriptive statistics and correspondence factor analysis (CFA) were applied. The results show that farmers clearly perceive the degradation of the lowlands. Farmers use meteorological, floristic and physical elements to characterize the state of lowlands degradation. The loss of several species and the appearance of ubiquitous species allow them to assess the degradation of the lowlands. These local indicators vary according to sex and education level. Farmers also apprehend degraded lowlands flora reshaping and identify taxa indicative of lowland ecosystems health. The study highlighted the importance of the endogenous knowledge in the analysis of lowlands’ degradation. It suggests the need to take into account local indicators in the implementation of lowlands’ restoration techniques. Keywords: endogenous indicators, lowlands degradation, perception, Watershed, Burkina Faso.
