Communities dependent on climate sensitive livelihood such as agriculture, fishing, horticulture, forestry and livestock have become vulnerable in the light of the climate variability and the challenges arising henceforth.
Agrobiodiversity in drylands
This information brief describes the importance of dryland agricultural biodiversity, outlines the threats facing it, and points to the key role that local people play in conserving it.
The League for Pastoral Peoples and Endogenous Livestock Development
The League for Pastoral Peoples was founded in 1992 to provide relief in an acute crisis experienced by Raika camel pastoralists in India. Its initial mandate was to support pastoral societies and other small-scale livestock keepers to pursue their own vision of development through research, technical support, advisory services and advocacy.
Report of the Sub Group III on Fodder and Pasture Management
Development of fodder resources and rehabilitation of grazing lands on forests and in forest fringe areas is of paramount importance in view of the total dependence of a large number of people on this resource for their livelihood needs.
This proposal is based on the hypothesis that the development of fodder resources will be best achieved through allocation of clear and mutually exclusive but closely inter-linked roles and responsibilities to the various line departments, viz.
Biodiversity Conservation, Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Programmes
The study was undertaken to identify pertinent and emerging issues that have implications for biodiversity conservation and livelihoods and the inter-relationship between them. A detailed review of the current national and state policies was undertaken along with the strategies being implemented by the government and various multi-lateral and bi-lateral agencies and other organizations, focused especially in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa as provided in the scope of the study.
Common Land & Poor Livestock Keepers

Vegetation Analysis of Protected Common Lands
The study looks into the work of two organizations- the Foundation for Ecological Security (FES) and BAIF Research Foundation, towards Common Land Developmentin the two States of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
A Commons Story
The study is an attempt to bring to the fore a Commons perspective of agriculture,livestock and rural livelihoods in the dryland and tribal areas of India. Would agriculture, livestock and rural livelihoods sustain in the absence of the support provided by Commons.
In finding an answer to this, This explores the potential role of the Commons (land and water resources) in strengthening the viability of the agro‐pastoral production systems and the resilience of household livelihoods.
Assessment of Land Use and Land Cover Changes: Impact of Common Land Development
Imageries of Remote Sensing (RS) satellites provide data on the temporal and spatial status of natural resources. Repetitive coverage helps in understanding various changing physical processes in a particular area as also in monitoring closely, the changes taking place across different areas. The availability of data at different spatial resolutions (as coarse as 1 km or as fine as 1 m) provides the means of observing the land simultaneously at micro as well as macro levels.
Community as Local Stewards
The document highlisghts that the AWS Standard is helpful in developing a stepwise understanding of community and insitutional development, An action plan was developed with the communuty during the scoping exercise, considereing the water related concerns of the communities and their shared risks and challenges. The plan would act as a point of reference and guide the implementation process.
