ProjectStrengthening Capacity to Tackle Land Degradation and Loss of Soil Fertility in Rangelands and Grasslands - GCP/GLO/530/GFF 2024Grasslands and rangelands cover a substantial part of global land areas. Livestock is the main source of livelihood for millions of poor people in these areas, therefore grasslands/rangelands are of great economic and social importance. They are also of major environmental importance as they play an important role as a habitat for water retention and for the conservation of fauna and flora. However, land degradation and loss of soil fertility is a major global threat to the productivity, functionality and biodiversity of these ecosystems, and they eventually contribute to increasing poverty and food insecurity. The understanding of land degradation in rangelands and grasslands is weak; this is attributed to a lack of robust data and a misunderstanding of management objectives. The project aimed to address the lack of harmonized participatory assessment and monitoring systems for land degradation and sustainable land management (SLM) in pastoral areas comprising grasslands and rangelands, which could comprehensively inform pastoral, livestock and land policy-makers in five countries: Burkina Faso, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Niger, and Uruguay.
