“…Certain scholars strongly advocated for the policy reform addressing rangelands and pastoralism in general contexts and in particular contexts of former USSR countries. Such references include Blench & Sommer (1999), Blench (1999), Isaeva & Shigaeva (2017), Crewett (2015), Dorre (2015) and Shigaeva et al (2016). However, an advocacy for a complete policy paradigm shift is missing in the policy debate especially from the perspective of reversing the vision of conservation science, land use planners, global economics architects and anti-nomadism State.…”

“…In Kyrgyzstan, for example, responsibility and control over all types of pastures were delegated to a newly established institution: 'Pasture Users Associations' (PUAs) under Law of the Kyrgyz Republic no. 30 "On pastures" 2009 (Isaeva and Shigaeva, 2017). Such community institutions are mandated to take decisions that would be participatory and inclusive, with the intention that such decision-making mode would lead to greater equality in access to pastures and consequently to optimal stocking rates on different pastures (Crewett, 2015;Dorre, 2015;Shigaeva et al, 2016).…”

Indigenous technical knowledge (ITK) of livestock breeding is often tacit and not necessarily expressed in conventional forms of scientific research and documentation. Indigenous livestock breeding systems rely mostly on qualitative traits than pure quantitative qualities. Qualitative traits are difficult to measure and most of the indigenous knowledge systems are in forms of qualitative traits. The lack of documentation and predominant qualitative nature makes it difficult to validate the ITK related to livestock breeding. In this context a study was conducted to examine the traditional breeding practices associated with two heritage cattle breeds of the Deccan Plateau region of India. The study examines the criteria used for selection of the breeding bulls of the indigenous Poda Thurpu and Nallmala-Pasa/Kamma, cattle breeds native to the study area. Results of the study identifies fourteen traits specific to breeding bulls and four traits that are generic to the breeding stock/cows. These traits/characteristics are ‘deemed desirable’ by the local cattle breeders for the ‘heritage breeds’, believed to have been bred and managed by them for generations. Observations of the present study supports the notion that traditional breeders of heritage breeds lay more emphasis on qualitative traits (ability to warding-off predators, fending off-springs, coat colour and texture, gait of the animal, temperament, and response and obedience to instructions of the master) than quantitative traits. It was found that local breeders give significant importance to the fertility of bovine bulls than cows. Breeding bulls are meticulously chosen with extreme caution and care, following a very long and meticulous selection process that could last for four years. Traditionally local cattle breeders of the study follow open nucleus breeding system for breeding and are strictly against promotion of inbreeding among their cattle herds. Only men are involved in cattle breeding in the study area and women usually stay away.

Redressing Policy Making in Pastoral Areas of the Mediterranean Region

This chapter provides a critical analysis of the evolution of the policy, institutional and legislative frameworks that influence the livelihoods of pastoralist communities on different shores of the Mediterranean and the narratives that underpin them, in order to support a more informed and coherent policy framework. The European Union's (EU) Common Agricultural Policy is crucial in shaping the contraction of pastoralists' livelihoods, not only in Europe but also in neighbouring regions. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, despite a rather disharmonious and diverse ideological and institutional context, the agricultural policies of different countries seem to converge towards a common framework. Across the Mediterranean, increasing compliance with policy measures, institutional regulations and legislative rules has exposed agro-pastoral farms to an increasing degree of uncertainty and dependence on public subsidies, loan programmes and market prices, making their navigation along pastures and grasslands less and less sustainable.

This chapter conducts a comparative analysis of national park legislation, focusing on insights from the US National Park System to inform the development of China's emerging national park framework. Against the backdrop of a global conservation movement, the US system serves as a valuable model for China, which initiated its own national park system in 2017. On October 12, 2021, China has formally established its inaugural set of national parks, comprising the Three-River-Source National Park, the Giant Panda National Park, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, the Hainan Tropical Forests National Park, and the Wuyishan National Park. Encompassing approximately 230,000 square kilometres, these five national parks safeguard nearly 30% of China's crucial terrestrial wildlife species. As China endeavours to enact comprehensive legislation for its national parks, this research aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts by addressing key questions such as the efficacy of the US's "One National Park, One Law" model, the governance dynamics between federal, state, and local entities, and strategies for balancing conservation with diverse land uses. The analysis spans five sections, exploring the historical evolution of the US National Park System, its legal framework, challenges faced by US national parks, and policy recommendations for China. The US experience highlights the importance of establishing clear legal authorities, fostering robust public participation mechanisms, and harmonizing relationships with Indigenous communities. The findings presented in this study aspire to facilitate a nuanced understanding of national park legislation, promoting international collaboration between the US and China for the sustainable management of natural lands and the protection of global biodiversity.
