Cet ouvrage présente les caractéristiques socio-économiques de certains pasteurs et les menaces qui pèsent sur les ressources des parcours de l'État d'Adamawa. Des représentants des sites de parcours (sites de parcours de Gongoshi, Guyaku et Chelekek) des deux zones agro-écologiques (savane guinéenne et soudanaise) de l'État ont été sélectionnés et délimités. Les résultats des caractéristiques socio-économiques ont indiqué que le niveau d'analphabétisme était de 83,8%, à l'exception des gestionnaires de parcours. Les répondants autres que les gestionnaires de parcours sont des pasteurs et transhumants par nature. Les résultats des revenus des répondants varient entre N 500.00 et N 20,000.00 par semaine. Les menaces présentant les indices de gravité les plus élevés sont la surexploitation des ressources fourragères, les conflits, l'invasion par des espèces végétales indésirables, la sécheresse, les maladies et les parasites. Les autres menaces sont la politique de colonisation, l'augmentation de la population, les feux de brousse et la politique relative aux terres de parcours. L'étude recommande que des politiques et des dispositions institutionnelles adéquates soient mises en place par les gouvernements à tous les niveaux pour la bonne gestion et la conservation des parcours de l'Adamawa.

In diesem Buch werden die sozioökonomischen Merkmale einiger Pastoralisten und die Bedrohungen für die Weideressourcen im Bundesstaat Adamawa vorgestellt. Es wurden Vertreter der Weidegebiete (Gongoshi, Guyaku und Chelekek) der beiden agro-ökologischen Zonen (Guinea- und Sudansavanne) des Bundesstaates ausgewählt und abgegrenzt. Die Ergebnisse der sozioökonomischen Merkmale zeigten, dass der Analphabetenanteil bei 83,8 % lag, mit Ausnahme der Gebietsbetreuer. Die Befragten, mit Ausnahme der Weideviehhalter, sind Pastoralisten und leben von der Wandertierhaltung. Das Einkommen der Befragten liegt zwischen N 500,00 und N 20.000,00 pro Woche. Die Bedrohungen mit den höchsten Schweregraden sind Übernutzung der Futterressourcen, Konflikte, Invasion unerwünschter Pflanzenarten, Trockenheit, Krankheiten und Schädlinge. Weitere Faktoren sind Siedlungspolitik, Bevölkerungswachstum, Buschfeuer und Weidelandpolitik. Die Studie empfiehlt, dass die Regierungen auf allen Ebenen angemessene politische und institutionelle Vorkehrungen für die ordnungsgemäße Bewirtschaftung und Erhaltung der Weideflächen in Adamawa treffen.

Este Livro apresentava as características socioeconómicas de alguns Pastoristas e as ameaças aos recursos das terras longínquas do Estado de Adamawa. Foram seleccionados e delineados representantes das duas zonas agro-ecológicas (Guiné e savana do Sudão) do Estado (Gongoshi, Guyaku e Chelekek). Os resultados das características socioeconómicas indicavam que o nível de analfabetismo era de 83,8%, excluindo os gestores da área de distribuição. Os inquiridos que não os gestores da área de distribuição são pastores e transumantes por natureza. Os resultados dos rendimentos dos inquiridos variam de N 500,00 - N 20.000,00 semanalmente. As ameaças com índices de severidade mais elevados são a sobre-exploração dos recursos forrageiros, conflitos, invasão por espécies vegetais indesejáveis, seca, doenças e pragas. Outros são a política de colonização, o aumento da população, os incêndios florestais e a política da serra. O estudo recomenda que os governos a todos os níveis estabeleçam políticas e disposições institucionais adequadas para a gestão e conservação adequadas das terras de guarda-florestal de Adamawa.

Este libro presenta las características socioeconómicas de algunos pastores y las amenazas que pesan sobre los recursos de los pastizales del Estado de Adamawa. Se seleccionaron y delimitaron representantes de las zonas de pastoreo (Gongoshi, Guyaku y Chelekek) de las dos zonas agroecológicas (sabana de Guinea y sabana de Sudán) del Estado. Los resultados de las características socioeconómicas indicaron que el nivel de analfabetismo era del 83,8%, excluidos los administradores de los pastizales.

Las amenazas con mayores índices de gravedad son la sobreexplotación de los recursos forrajeros, los conflictos, la invasión de especies vegetales indeseables, la sequía, las enfermedades y las plagas. Otras son la política de asentamientos, el aumento de la población, los incendios de matorrales y la política de pastizales. El estudio recomienda que los gobiernos de todos los niveles establezcan políticas y disposiciones institucionales adecuadas para la correcta gestión y conservación de los pastizales de Adamawa.

Questo libro presenta le caratteristiche socio-economiche di alcuni pastori e le minacce alle risorse dei pascoli dello Stato di Adamawa. Sono stati selezionati e delineati i rappresentanti dei siti di pascolo (Gongoshi, Guyaku e Chelekek) delle due zone agro-ecologiche (Guinea e Sudan savana) dello Stato. I risultati delle caratteristiche socio-economiche indicano che il livello di analfabetismo è pari all'83,8%, esclusi i gestori delle aree di distribuzione. Gli intervistati, a parte i gestori delle aree di distribuzione, sono di natura pastorale e transumante. I risultati del reddito degli intervistati variano da N 500,00 a N 20.000,00 settimanali. Le minacce con gli indici di gravità più elevati sono il sovrasfruttamento delle risorse foraggere, i conflitti, l'invasione di specie vegetali indesiderate, la siccità, le malattie e i parassiti. Altre sono la politica degli insediamenti, l'aumento della popolazione, gli incendi e la politica dei pascoli. Lo studio raccomanda che i governi a tutti i livelli mettano in atto politiche e accordi istituzionali adeguati per la corretta gestione e conservazione dei pascoli di Adamawa.

Significant pressures on biodiversity on rangelands; depressed net incomes, land use conversion, fire suppression, invasion by woody and alien species, grazing pressure by domestic livestock, residential and industrial developments, urbanization, agriculture, mining, industrialization, road construction, linear developments such as roads and pipelines as well as climate change, and these threats are for practical purposes, irreversible. The study examined the status, pattern of distribution of plant resources, as well as the range condition and trend. It also investigated the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents and threats to rangeland resources in the study areas. Records of the herbaceous plant species in this study showed that Gongoshi had 94 species while Guyaku and Chekelek had 88 and 70 species respectively. The total number of woody plant species on each site was 22 for Gongoshi, 20 for Guyaku and 17 for Chekelek range sites. This book is targeted at developing strategies for rangeland utilisers who see the act and a serious business venture. It will be beneficial to researchers, the government and individuals who will used it as a guide for range development.

This Book presented the socio-economic characteristics of some Pastoralists and threats to rangeland resources of Adamawa State. Range site representatives (Gongoshi, Guyaku and Chelekek range sites) of the two agro-ecological zones (Guinea and Sudan savanna) in the State were selected and delineated. Results of the socio-economic characteristics indicated that illiteracy level was 83.8%, excluding the range managers. The respondents other than the range managers are pastoralists and transhumance in nature. Results of respondents¿ income range from N 500.00 - N 20,000.00 weekly. The threats with the highest severity indices are over-exploitation of forage resources, conflicts, invasion by undesirable plant species, drought, diseases and pests. Others are settlement policy, population increase, bush fire and rangeland policy. The study recommends that adequate policy and institutional arrangements be put in place by governments at all levels for the proper management and conservation of Adamawa rangelands.

A range is a broad, wide and unfenced area on which animals graze and roam. They comprise the low rainfall and variable climate, arid and semi-arid areas and, north of the Tropic of Capricorn and some seasonally high rainfall areas. The main ecosystem types are shrublands, native grasslands and woodlands. Boundaries to rangelands are not clearly defined; they vary according to variation in climatic condition. Rangelands are homes to a significant number of species of animals and plants with a high value in both scientific terms and leisure. The literature uses several terms for the main world¿s rangelands: South American savanna, African savanna, Eurasian steppe, Indian savanna, Australian grasslands and North American prairies. It is a broader term than grasslands, encompassing areas where woody vegetation is dominant; moreover, it is a term common in texts looking at land from the viewpoint of livestock production.
