Global Lessons
From the Margins
The stories and images on this website explore how
pastoralists understand, experience and respond to uncertainty. They draw on
six very different places around the world where pastoralists are living and
working in often variable and uncertain conditions.
The images were produced by pastoralists and a team of researchers from the PASTRES research programme.
The sites include Amdo Tibet in China, Sardinia in Italy, Isiolo in northern Kenya, Borana in southern Ethiopia, Kachchh in Gujarat, India and Douiret, Tataouine in southern Tunisia.

From climate change to financial markets, from disease
epidemics to changes in rules, territories or boundaries, pastoralists are
experts at living with uncertainty.
The PASTRES programme (Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Resilience: Global Lessons from the Margins) has set out to learn from how pastoralists deal with uncertainty and resilience, drawing out lessons for responding global challenges.
