Resilience of pastoralist livelihoods in dry grazing systems under different preferences
The resilience literature has emphasized that in systems with alternative stable states, management must account not only for economic returns but also for the ability of desirable regimes to persist under disturbance. We contribute to this literature by analysing how pastoralists’ economic incentives affect the resilience of a bistable dryland grazing system. We incorporate pastoralist economic preferences into an existing dynamic eco-hydrologic…
Hygiene knowledge and practices in the Lagos wild meat value chain: Cultural influences, regulatory gaps, and infrastructure needs
Wild meat, commonly known as bushmeat, is a cultural, economic, and nutritional staple food in many regions of the world, including sub-Saharan Africa. Wild meat value chains face major hygiene and sanitary regulation challenges, but only a few studies have investigated these challenges, focusing instead on market dynamics and biodiversity issues. This study examines the hygiene practices, attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge of public health ri…
Spatial Biopolitics of Tick-Borne Disease Control Practices in Laikipia, Kenya
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are major constraints for wildlife, livestock production and human health. Chemical acaricides are widely promoted for the control of TBDs despite the uncertainty that farmers and state support can manage TBDs. This paper explores how spatial biopolitics related to TBDs are enacted by livestock keepers in Laikipia, Kenya. The results show that control of TBDs is the product of indigenous knowledge of pastoral farmers an…
Modeling the Effect of Traffic Calming on Local Animal Population Persistence
A steady growth in traffic volumes in industrialized countries with dense human populations is expected, especially on minor roads. As a consequence, the fragmentation of wildlife populations will increase dramatically. In human-dominated landscapes, typically minor roads occur in high densities, and animals encounter them frequently. Traffic calming is a new approach to mitigate negative impacts by reducing traffic volumes and speeds on minor ro…
