Welcome
to the LEAD Watersheds and Land Degradation (WLD) Team List. Watersheds
have become recognised as a key and discrete development unit for
rural development in India.
The livestock - watershed interactions are not well understood particularly
with reference to issues such as rural poverty, gender and environment.
There is also a fast growing demand for livestock products and the
increasing dependency on livestock for sustainable livelihood systems,
particularly in the rural areas. Therefore, a critical understanding
of and the need for evolving appropriate measures to promote livestock
while preserving the natural resource base is imminent for countries
such as India.
This is an open moderated list. The purpose of this list is to facilitate the exchange of information, discuss and develop ideas, strategies, concepts, policy elements etc. to ensure effective utilisation of livestock resources in the context of watersheds livelihood systems in arid and semi arid areas of India.
