Strengthening pastoral organization and indigenous knowledge for sustainable rangeland management in Nepal

摘要：

Rangeland ecosystems and their biological resources play a critical role in the regions overall economic development and in peoples well being in mountainous areas of Northern Nepal.However, sociological studies are scarce, and the lack of understanding of social dimensions of rangeland resource use has limited the proper management and sustainable development of rangeland ecosystems (Chetri and Gurung, 2004).This case study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of indigenous rangeland management systems in mountainous areas of Nepal and to provide insights into the social dimensions of sustainable rangeland resource and ecosystem management that may be useful elsewhere in Nepal and neighboring areas across the HKH region.
