Los damnificados de Terrabona y de muchas otras zonas rurales de Nicaragua quieren proyectos de huertos familiares y de reforestacion. Pero quieren, sobre todo, tener un titulo individual para sus tierras. Y quieren tener sus tierras, por fin, cercadas. Por que ninguna ONG atiende a esta demanda campesina? (Envio/DÜI)

In this paper, the history of pastoral practices and common property arrangements in Namibia are described for the communal area of former Damaraland. The issue of land tenure is linked to scientific debates regarding the dynamics of semi-arid rangeland ecology; models of appropriate rangeland management arising from this discussion are examined in the light of experiences of pastoral development in other parts of dryland Africa. Social, economic and ecological considerations are used to examine the policy options open to government in considering reform of communal tenure. It is argued that successful reform must incorporate the characteristics of flexibility, mobility and opportunism which typify present pastoral practices. (DÜI-Hff)
