The Centre recognizes that a comprehensive study of economic and social development issues requires an interdisciplinary approach and tries to involve researchers from various disciplines. The Centre's focus has been on policy relevant research through empirical investigation with sound methodology. Being a Hyderabad based think tank, it has focused on, among other things, several distinctive features of the development process of Andhra Pradesh, though its sphere of research activities has expanded to other states as well as to issues at the nation level. The Research Unit for Livelihoods and Natural Resources (RULNR) was established in the CESS in the year 2008 with financial support of the Jamsetji Tata Trust. The core objectives of the RULNR are to conduct theoretical and applied research on policy relevant issues on human livelihoods and natural resource management, especially in areas related to river basins, forest and dry land ecosystems and to provide an effective platform for debates on policy relevant aspects for academicians, policy makers, civil society organizations and development practitioners. RULNR intends to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach drawing on various disciplines such as ecology, economics, political science, and social anthropology. The present monograph "Let it be Banni" by Charul Bharwada and Vinay Mahajan is an attempt to understand the pastoralism in the Banni grasslands in Kutch of Gujarat State. Pastoralism is an important livelihood system that uses the scarce resources of dry land ecology and converts it into several useful products. Situating the inquiry in the larger context of history and recent developments in Kutch, the study tries to examine both the traditional and current system of breeding livestock, grazing practices, utilizing water sources and their economy. Based on both primary and secondary data, it brings out various factors that have impacted the grasslands and pastoralism and various ways adopted by the pastoralists of Banni to cope with these. It also brings out that mobility and free grazing movements are the key to the survival of pastoralism in Banni. The study suggests socially and ecologically sensitive interventions for sustainability of the pastoral system. I hope that the research community, policy makers and development practitioners will find it useful. Manoj Panda Director, CESS. While we are all trying striving to evolve sustainable systems, here is a region, a community desiring to build future around its ecology, history, skills and knowledge. We need to be with them. In constant struggle to save grasslands, their life. In an effort to create a sustainable livelihood. In their dream to let Banni be Banni. Preface It is cold winter of 1996. Since past three weeks we are in Kutch in the context of a study to understand its water problem. In this first visit to Kutch, like many others, we too are truly awed by its unique landscape and interesting people. One early morning, we leave Bhuj on our little LML Vespa to explore Banni. As we are moving away from Bhuj and the Bhujia hill range, a vast flat expanse of near nothingness begins to unfold. We have never experienced such a landscape before. Chill in the air is penetrating and driving through thick fog is making us feel like entering a new world beyond this. We cross the army cantonments, cross the Rann of Banni and reach Bhirandiara. It is a small village. On both sides of the road are few shops, few acacia trees and very few, less than a dozen people. None of the houses are visible from the road while there are few makeshift shops on both sides of roads. Air is filled with the fragrance of boiling milk. Some men are stirring something in huge black pans kept over big makeshift chullahs near shops. They are making the famous mava of Banni. A small buffalo herd passes by. While sipping a cup of tea, we began chatting with Mamad, owner of the tea joint. He narrates several stories about this unique land; her beautiful and sturdy cattle, her good natured peace loving people; their cordial relations with erstwhile rulers of Kutch; invasion of this land by a foreign plant and extreme degradation of their once beautiful grasslands. He warmly offers fresh, hot mava saying, “You can not leave without having this.” Yes. Indeed it is delicious. He takes money only for the tea as mava is offered with a gesture us being guests and not customers. After few hours, we are at the highest point of Banni on Kalo Dungar at the height of 1500 feet, sitting on a huge boulder at this highest point of Banni overlooking the vast, limitless misty expanse of Rann of Kutch. There is infinite stillness and the quietness. Endless white layer of salt is breathtaking. Line of horizon is invisible and blurred by the reflection from salt. Sitting there, we feel at once connected to the past, to our history, to so many things we had read about Kutch and Indus Valley civilization. We could visualize camel caravans moving across the Rann; visualize the distant line that divided this land and her people in 1947. Can nothingness be so beautiful? Images of our first trip to Banni are still fresh. Since that day, we have always felt like knowing more, understanding more. In a later trip to Kutch, Sandeep and his team told us about presence of an interesting tradition of bullock trade in Banni. We had a cursory meeting with one trader and were more curious to understand this land in some detail, some day. This study is a result of that curiosity and concern. During our other field works and interactions with dozens of pastoralists across Gujarat, we realized how ignorant and insensitive we have been about these people, this occupation; their social contribution and relevance in fragile ecology. There is a need to understand and go beyond our popular belief that this is a ‘backward’ occupation practiced by ‘ignorant’ and ‘illiterate’ people; that they are least bothered about their ecology and its regeneration; that they know little science; and that it is an occupation of keeping few animals with whom these pastoralists make random anarchic movements to graze them. We hope that this work will help in opening a small window in the complex world of pastoralism and pastoralists of Banni.

  • Mapping Prosopis Glandulosa (Mesquite) Invasion in the Arid Environment of South Africa Using Remote Sensing Techniques
    Mapping Prosopis glandulosa (mesquite) invasion in the arid environment of South Africa using remote sensing techniques NYASHA FLORENCE MURERIWA 0604748V Supervisor: Dr Elhadi Adam A dissertation submitted to the School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies, Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Sciences March 2016 Johannesburg South Africa Abstract Decades after the first introduction of the Prosopis spp. (mesquite) to South Africa in the late 1800s for its benefits, the invasive nature of the species became apparent as its spread in regions of South Africa resulting in devastating effects to biodiversity, ecosystems and the socio- economic wellbeing of affected regions. Various control and management practices that include biological, physical, chemical and integrated methods have been tested with minimal success as compared to the rapid spread of the species. From previous studies, it has been noted that one of the reasons for the low success rates in mesquite control and management is a lack of sufficient information on the species invasion dynamic in relation to its very similar co-existing species. In order to bridge this gap in knowledge, vegetation species mapping techniques that use remote sensing methods need to be tested for the monitoring, detection and mapping of the species spread. Unlike traditional field survey methods, remote sensing techniques are better at monitoring vegetation as they can cover very large areas and are time-effective and cost- effective. Thus, the aim of this research was to examine the possibility of mapping and spectrally discriminating Prosopis glandulosa from its native co-existing species in semi-arid parts of South Africa using remote sensing methods.

  • A Case Study on the Potential of the Multipurpose Prosopis Tree
    23 Underutilised crops for famine and poverty alleviation: a case study on the potential of the multipurpose Prosopis tree N.M. Pasiecznik, S.K. Choge, A.B. Rosenfeld and P.J.C. Harris In its native Latin America, the Prosopis tree (also known as Mesquite) has multiple uses as a fuel wood, timber, charcoal, animal fodder and human food. It is also highly drought-resistant, growing under conditions where little else will survive. For this reason, it has been introduced as a pioneer species into the drylands of Africa and Asia over the last two centuries as a means of reclaiming desert lands. However, the knowledge of its uses was not transferred with it, and left in an unmanaged state it has developed into a highly invasive species, where it encroaches on farm land as an impenetrable, thorny thicket. Attempts to eradicate it are proving costly and largely unsuccessful. In 2006, the problem of Prosopis was hitting the headlines on an almost weekly basis in Kenya. Yet amidst calls for its eradication, a pioneering team from the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) and HDRA’s International Programme set out to demonstrate its positive uses. Through a pilot training and capacity building programme in two villages in Baringo District, people living with this tree learned for the first time how to manage and use it to their benefit, both for food security and income generation. Results showed that the pods, milled to flour, would provide a crucial, nutritious food supplement in these famine-prone desert margins. The pods were also used or sold as animal fodder, with the first international order coming from South Africa by the end of the year.

  • The Case of Exploding Lantana and the Lessons It Can Teach Us
    GENERAL ARTICLE The Case of Exploding Lantana and the Lessons it Can Teach Us Ankila J Hiremath Invasive alien species are a growing conservation problem, worldwide. There are over 200 invasive plants in India, of which Lantana camara is one of the best known. This article looks at a brief history of Lantana’s arrival and spread across the Indian subcontinent and the lessons that conservation bi- ologists can learn from it. Living in an Age of Ecological Explosions Ankila Hiremath is an ecologist at the Ashoka Trust In 1958, the British zoologist, Charles Elton, published a book for Research in Ecology and based on a series of radio broadcasts [1]. In the book, he talked the Environment.

What Elton was worried about while talking about ecological ex- plosions was the mixing of species from different biogeographical realms – whether accidentally, or purposefully. Biogeographical realms are large regions of the Earth that roughly correspond to the continents. These realms are separated from each other by ge- ographical barriers, e.g., oceans or high mountains.

  • Mechanisms of Range Expansion and Removal of Mesquite in Desert Grasslands of the Southwestern United States
    United States Department Mechanisms of Range Expansion of Agriculture Forest Service and Removal of Mesquite in Desert Rocky Mountain Grasslands of the Southwestern Research Station General Technical United States Report RMRS-GTR-81 October 2001 Thomas B. Wilson Robert H. Webb Thomas L. Thompson Abstract ___________________________________________ Wilson, Thomas B.; Webb, Robert H.; Thompson, Thomas L. 2001. Mechanisms of range expansion and removal of mesquite in desert grasslands of the Southwestern United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-81. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 23 p. During the last 150 years, two species of mesquite trees in the Southwestern United States have become increasingly common in what formerly was desert grassland. These trees have spread from nearby watercourses onto relatively xeric upland areas, decreasing rangeland grass production. Management attempts to limit or reverse this spread have been largely unsuccessful. This paper reviews studies regarding mesquite natural history and management strategies, emphasizing studies published during the past decade. Mesquite possess a deep root system and are capable of fixing atmospheric N, rendering them capable of accessing resources unavailable to other plants in open rangeland. Their seeds, which remain viable for decades, have a hard exocarp and require scarification before germination. Consumption by cattle provides a means of scarification and seed dispersal, and is a major factor contributing to the spread of mesquite in open rangelands. Increases in atmospheric CO2 and winter precipitation during the past century also contribute to enhanced seed germination. Removal techniques have included herbicides, prescribed burning, grazing reduction, and mechanical removal.

It is regarded as one of the worst weeds in Australia because of its invasiveness, potential for spread, and economic and environmental impacts. There are four species and several hybrids Mesquite of Prosopis, which are all collectively known as mesquite. Mesquite’s economic impacts stem from its habit of forming dense, impenetrable – Prosopis thickets which, combined with its large thorns, prevent stock accessing watering holes and make mustering difficult.
