They therefore stray to seek other pastures and thereby incur additional labour for the herders.

Subject matter Rights of reindeer herders with respect to logging operations undertaken by the State party

Provision of adequate financial incentives Incentives must be sufficient to stimulate a change in the behaviour of the herders.

And I learned about profit and revenue, about leverage, all sorts of things, from farmers, from seamstresses, from goat herders.

So I would hear from goat herders who had used that money that they had received to buy a few more goats.

In one notable example, on 25 August the SLM A attacked nomadic herders near the village of Al Malam in South Darfur.

Saudi Arabia also claims compensation for 45 square kilometres of roads that it excluded from restoration because they were used by Bedouin herders.

Substantive issues Extent to which logging may be carried out by State authorities before it will be considered to violate the rights of reindeer herders

Syria also states that there are groundwater wells distributed in the desert for use by herders, as well as reservoirs and other low ground areas where water accumulates.

There is no indication that a case seeking positive protection for Sami herders would be successful, and, in any event, the existing Supreme Court ruling would be a further obstacle.

3.1 The authors allege a violation of their rights as reindeer herders under article 27 of the Covenant, both inasmuch as it relates to logging already undertaken and to logging proposed.

3.3 The authors recall that after heavy snows in 1997, herders had for the first time to supply capital and labour intensive fodder for the reindeer rather than rely on lichen.

Cooperative management is based on the premise that resource users (e.g., herders) and resource managers can find a common solution which produces gains for both of them in the long term.

This case remains an ongoing source of concern as nomadic herders have gathered in Al Malam, intent on retrieving their stolen animals, while the SLM A refuses to cooperate with AU intermediaries.

But there were these beautiful details, even if I talked to 20 goat herders in a row, and some days that's what happened these beautiful details of life change that were meaningful to them.

While casualty figures remain unconfirmed at the time of writing, the African Union (AU) has reported that SLM A soldiers abducted seven persons and made off with as many as 3,100 camels from local herders.

With regard to the 45 square kilometres of roads that Saudi Arabia excluded from restoration because of their continued use by herders, the Panel considers that Saudi Arabia's decision has resulted in benefits instead of losses to Saudi Arabia.

Still in Southern Mozambique, specifically in Gaza Province, there is an association known as AGROPEM (Matuba Association of Cattle Herders and Agriculturists) that carries out agricultural activities in an irrigated land, presently requiring inputs to increase its earnings and the project's feasibility.

Many were children of nomadic herders, who moved south in May and June in search of better pastures. When they arrived, brown domes made of crisscrossed branches and layers of multicolored mats would appear like crowds of dappled beetles on the outskirts of town.

Development of an effective system for collecting, assessing and disseminating information on rangeland conditions The programme will need a data collection and assessment system that ensures prompt delivery of information to herders, allowing them to take decisive action in response to changing rangeland conditions.

Cattle herding allowed nomads to create livelihoods in an increasingly unpredictable and challenging environment, characterized by an arid climate and scarce resources. Today, there are some 50 million nomadic herders in Sub Saharan Africa, and as many as 150 million agro pastoralists, who combine traditional nomadic animal rearing with some form of agriculture.

Pastoralism is thus an essential livelihood system, with the potential to help overcome food insecurity particularly in Somalia, where more than 50 of the population are nomadic herders. In order to unleash this potential, a strong support system that improves pastoralists access to capital and markets, while bolstering human resource development and capacity building, is needed.
