#Africa - #Coexistence That's Built to Last
"For two decades, African People & Wildlife has partnered with communities across #Tanzania to protect wildlife, restore landscapes, and support sustainable livelihoods. See how this work has grown and where it’s going next.
Landscape Restoration and Connectivity
We lead collective efforts to restore and connect a flourishing mosaic of lands that benefits people, parks, and wildlife while building local #ClimateChange #resilience.
#HabitatLoss and #fragmentation pose one of the greatest threats to the future of Africa’s people and #wildlife. Without urgent action and collaborative partnerships, our most critical landscapes and their natural resources could be lost forever.
Support Local Corridors
We engage communities in the conservation of critical corridors for wildlife and livestock that link protected areas with communal and private lands.
Revitalize #DegradedPastures
The #overgrazing of local pastures can lead to #SoilErosion and inadequate food for wildlife and livestock. Together with local communities, we monitor and manage the long-term health of vital habitats that benefit people and wildlife.
Layer Programming to Maximize Impact
We overlap our rangeland management programming with the observed range of lions, leopards, and cheetahs to ensure the health and connectivity of vital big cat habitat. We also enhance the health of these pastures with an increased beehive presence through our Women's #Beekeeping Initiative.
Leverage Partnerships to Enhance Connectivity
We work with multiple partners – including government authorities – across large landscapes like the #Ngorongoro Conservation Area to identify shared goals and implement joint programming with local community members."

#TFG #Appalachia #Overgrazing #WorldView #Society #HumanNature
It’s all overgrazing, it’s all a tragedy of the commons, and we can’t agree on exactly who to blame for signing this social contract — or how to renegotiate it before the pasture becomes permanently barren. The challenge isn’t identifying the problem — Rousseau and the English figured that out centuries ago. The challenge is mustering the collective wisdom to manage our shared resources before they’re grazed beyond recovery.

Overgrazing (Habitat 🌄)
Overgrazing occurs when plants are exposed to intensive grazing for extended periods of time, or without sufficient recovery periods. It can be caused by either livestock in poorly managed agricultural applications, game reserves, or nature reserves. It can also be caused by immobile, travel restricted populations of native or non-native wild animals. Overgra...

Private landholders control 60% of the Australian continent.
Many of Australia’s ecosystems are severely degraded.
Only 22% of Australia’s landmass is currently protected."About 60% of the continent is owned or managed privately – and 70% to 90% of inadequately protected wildlife is found mostly on such land, which includes farms, pastoral leases and mines."
"Through what legal mechanism can private landholders be engaged in biodiversity conservation? A conservation covenant is a legally binding commitment landholders make to restrict how their property is used."
"Existing covenants are generally used to protect high-value conservation land where ecosystems are healthy. Rarely are they used on degraded land needing restoration, such as overgrazed paddocks or former mining."

Estimated 2 billion tons of #sand and #dust are entering the atmosphere per year: ‘We are in a vicious circle’
Story by Jeremiah Budin, December 11, 2023
"#Pollution and human activity have ripple effects everywhere that plants grow, and one of those effects is that there is less land for plants to grow than ever before.
"According to the United Nations, the world is losing around 386,000 square miles (by some estimates, more than Texas and New Mexico combined) of productive land per year to sand and #DustStorms — the result of #HumanActivity, as Reuters reports.
What is happening?
"The United Nations Convention to Combat #Desertification (#UNCCD) recently issued a report that called attention to the issue of land loss due to #SandStorms, which have hit large areas of #Africa and #Asia. According to the report, at least 25% of the storms could be attributed to human activity, such as #overmining and #overgrazing.
Why is this concerning?
"According to the UNCCD report, 'with impacts far beyond the source regions, an estimated 2 billion tons of sand and dust now enters the atmosphere every year, an amount equal in weight to 350 Great Pyramids of Giza.' And while sand storms are common in many regions, this new frequency and intensity are not.
“'We are in a vicious circle, where #LandDegradation is fueling #ClimateChange and climate change is exacerbating land loss in the world,' Ibrahim Thiaw, UNCCD executive secretary, told Reuters.
"Thiaw went on to explain that as the sand storms continue to make an increasing amount of land unfarmable, it affects people’s ability to get food in some of the world’s most vulnerable countries.
“'It goes well beyond individuals,' he said. 'It is affecting the entire community.'
What can be done about it?
"The UNCCD had several recommendations for steps that could be taken to prevent further land loss. For one, it said that funding needs to be increased to tackle the problem, which has drawn less attention so far than other issues caused by human-driven pollution.
"Also, new incentives are needed for the private sector to take responsibility for the land that it destroys.
"As Thiaw told Reuters, #China has been successful at combating desertification and controlling dust, by employing a #LandManagement, #restoration, and #reforestation program."

People who only talk about #CO2 are totally distracted. The current food inflation or even food crisis is a result of both climate change and land degradation. #LandDegradation is caused by deforestation, #overgrazing and #tillage. #Deforestation affects both local and global climate. It also leads to soil erosion. As farmland gets abandoned and overgrazing continues, desertification is unavoidable and local and global #climatechange will worsen. It is a vicious cycle.

@kevinrns Your interesting choice of words (Sahara-fication rather than Desertification) prompted me to do some research...
What Really Turned the #SaharaDesert From a Green Oasis Into a Wasteland?
10,000 years ago, this iconic desert was unrecognizable. A new hypothesis suggests that humans may have tipped the balance
by Lorraine Boissoneault
March 24, 2017Excerpt: "'By overgrazing the grasses, they were reducing the amount of atmospheric moisture—plants give off moisture, which produces clouds—and enhancing albedo,' Wright said. He suggests this may have triggered the end of the humid period more abruptly than can be explained by the orbital changes. These nomadic humans also may have used fire as a land management tool, which would have exacerbated the speed at which the desert took hold.
"It’s important to note that the green Sahara always would’ve turned back into a desert even without humans doing anything—that’s just how Earth’s orbit works, says geologist Jessica Tierney, an associate professor of geoscience at the University of Arizona. Moreover, according to Tierney, we don’t necessarily need humans to explain the abruptness of the transition from green to desert.
"Instead, the culprits might be regular old vegetation feedbacks and changes in the amount of dust. 'At first you have this slow change in the Earth’s orbit,' Tierney explains. 'As that’s happening, the West African monsoon is going to get a little bit weaker. Slowly you’ll degrade the landscape, switching from desert to vegetation. And then at some point you pass the tipping point where change accelerates.'
"Tierney adds that it’s hard to know what triggered the cascade in the system, because everything is so closely intertwined. During the last humid period, the Sahara was filled with hunter-gatherers. As the orbit slowly changed and less rain fell, humans would have needed to domesticate animals, like cattle and goats, for sustenance. 'It could be the #climate was pushing people to herd cattle, or the #overgrazing practices accelerated denudation [of foliage],' Tierney says.
"Which came first? It’s hard to say with evidence we have now. “The question is: How do we test this hypothesis?” she says. 'How do we isolate the climatically driven changes from the role of humans? It’s a bit of a chicken and an egg problem.' Wright, too, cautions that right now we have evidence only for correlation, not causation.
"But Tierney is also intrigued by Wright’s research, and agrees with him that much more research needs to be done to answer these questions."

I've been visiting some beech woods on a Northumberland moor for over 12 years, I've never seen a seedling tree. There are no young trees, it's dying. The land is now up for sale and there have been no sheep this year - all of a sudden the place is awash with beech & rowan seedlings. 1/2 #Overgrazing

Challenge to Irish apartment plan referred to European courts

<< at least the tree angle is interesting.Ireland has the lowest amount of trees cover in the whole EU and virtually no enforced protection of trees. #Overgrazing , as always in Ireland, also playing a part.
It is yet another area of #ecology that Ireland doesn't do enough to reach the minimal levels of other #EU states.

Wildlife group wants all deer removed from Phoenix Park
https://www.fm104.ie/news/fm104-news/wildlife-group-wants-all-deer-removed-from-phoenix-park/
<<
I am always amazed how little life there is in Phoenix Park. The reason for this lack of biodiversity is the same as nearly everywhere in Ireland: overgrazing.We have no top predators (we killed them all), so either we bring them back, do their job, or accept Ireland as a biodiversity wasteland.

A stretch of Alder woodland by a burn in Northumberland. These trees usually live for less than 100 years, but they have been used by farmers until fairly recently - coppiced or pollarded for charcoal and winter fodder, so some are MUCH older than that. Overgrazing (sheep + deer) means that there is NO regeneration happening, so this type of woodland - a feature of Northumberland - will soon be gone.
