| Task | Prepare an essay comparing the perspectives of the three key rangeland stakeholder groups: Indigenous people, pastoralists and conservation/biodiversity managers. Identify areas of conflict and common ground in their approaches to land management principles and practices, and provide a historical context for the current perspectives. |
| Preparation | Starting
with literature resources listed and available expert tutors, you
will be required to thoroughly research and then describe the current
position(s), the historical context of this current position, as well
as likely predictions of their position on future developments.
Identify areas of potential conflict and areas of common ground in approach to land management principles and practices. This investigation may lead to many areas of investigation, but we would like you to develop a paper that sets the context for your scoping document. This paper will provide the social and management context to the technical problem of natural resource management. |
