Action |
| Nomad's herds are too large for the pastures available |
• Keep as many animals as possible to allow for those that die
• Animals are our wealth and provide all our needs |
• Size of herds increasing |
| Nomads herds are unhealthy. Vaccinations will improve their
quality |
• Can now own more because fewer will die from disease |
• Large scale vaccination programmes
• Size of herds increasing
|
| Encourage settlement to protect Game Reserves and to collect
taxes |
• Have always followed traditional migration routes that make
the best use of a risky environment
• Poaching of game animals |
• Aggression over loss of lands
• Compensation paid for loss of land rights. Nomads receive a share of the
tourist income from Game Reserves
• Poaching reduced |
| Intensive farming is leading to soil erosion |
• Need the land for food production |
• Construction of stone lines along the contours to increase
rainfall infiltration and reduce soil erosion |
| Reduce family sizes |
• Children help with farming and are an insurance in old age |
• Family sizes still large |
| Provide aid for new water supplies in compensation for loss of
grazing land |
• Herds concentrated on new wells |
• Deep wells and storage tanks provided
• Erosion concentrated around the wells |
