Does LandCare result in changes in perceptions of livestock keepers on sustainable use of natural resources ?An example from Sterkspruit in South Africa

摘要：

A LandCare project implemented by the Eastern Cape Department of Agriculture in Sterkspruit, in South Africa was evaluated in terms of its impact in changing the perceptions of livestock keepers on sustainable natural resource management.This project is intended to promote sustainable use of agricultural resources as well as promoting community participation and was implemented in 2004.The study area is considered to be one of the most severely degraded areas in South Africa in terms of vegetation changes, reduced plant cover,invasion by unpalatable shrubs and extensive soil erosion ( Hoffman et al, 1999, Hill, Kaplan & Scott, 1985).
