Expanding Horizons in Worldwide Range Management

Abstract

Range management must play an increasingly important role in the efforts of the developing countries to increase their output of livestock products. Technical assistance to guide improvement in the management and use of range and pasture resources can best be provided by international organizations. It is essential to establish a philosophy of range management based on sound ecological principles and shared by a body of dedicated range specialists in each of the countries. Gaining acceptance of such a doctrine, and building up such a body of specialists, then becomes the real objective of technical assistance in range management.
