This book contains 12 chapters providing information on case studies that describe the change, loss, re-emergence and resilience of seven herder communities located in distinct socio-ecological settings ranging from the Gobi Desert of Mongolia to the Tibetan Plateau regions of China's Sichuan and Gansu Provinces. It will be useful for policy makers within international development and conservation policy.
