  4. #ChineseGovernment says #relocations are poverty alleviation measures & new locations are ecologically sound, so that affected #Tibetans can improve their livelihoods by relocating, Pearson said.

    “But in reality, that hasn’t been the case because many of the people are #pastoralists, and they live off the land, but when they move to more urban-like areas, the work options are different & they would need to speak #Chinese rather than Tibetan,” she added

  5. Invasive species of #Opuntia are a big problem in #Kenya,
    especially in the dry north, threatening grazing land and livelihoods of #pastoralists.
    Most people who are confronted with them do not know that the whole Opuntia plant is edible/useful.

    Meet Pera Foods, who know how to make #wine from the cactus' fruit.
    They employ locals to forage fruit from wild Opuntia,
    creating jobs and income from the presence of the unwelcome invader.

  9. @botaflo @plants

    More on the #Opuntia (stricta) invasion in #Kenya, rendering grazing lands useless for #pastoralists and their cattle, while the #plant itself, though edible and a source of biofuel, is not utilized.
