The report “Mobile Pastoralism and the World Heritage Convention” by Roads Less Travelled Global explores the role of mobile pastoralism in conservation. It introduces the concepts of mobile pastoralism, examines its interaction with World Heritage sites, and provides case studies. The study aims to offer recommendations for integrating pastoralism with conservation efforts.
“Mobile Pastoralism and the World Heritage Convention” is a new report for Roads Less Travelled Global – a global partnership of Yolda Initiative, DiversEarth and Asociación Trashumancia y Naturaleza, which makes the case for mobile pastoralism (transhumance, nomadic and semi-nomadic pastoralism) at a global scale, through new research, support to pastoral communities, and through creative celebration of their knowledge and ways of life.
Prepared by Equilibrium Research and DiversEarth, the paper is a scoping study; part of a multiyear project looking at mobile pastoralism and conservation – and aims to:
– Introduce concepts of mobile pastoralism and its interaction with conservation
– Discuss the role of World Heritage and the Advisory Bodies
– List key World Heritage sites where mobile pastoralism occurs
– Provide some brief case studies of mobile pastoralism within individual World Heritage sites
– Draw some very preliminary conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for next steps
