Women pastoralists: preserving traditional knowledge, facing modern challenges

This publication is devoted to women pastoralists, their knowledge of and contributions to sustainable land management, and the coping mechanisms they have developed in their struggle to survive. It is a call to action to support them by increasing their access to productive assets and their participation in policy-making. These stories highlight the invaluable human resources that exist in dryland areas and the power they have to protect not only the environment but also the communities that depend on it for their survival.
