Gestión sostenible de la tierra en pastizales y praderas

Esta metodología para la evaluación participativa de pastizales y tierras de pastoreo (denominada PRAGA) se desarrolló a través del proyecto “Evaluación participativa de la degradación de la tierra y la gestión sostenible de la tierra en sistemas de pastizales y pastos”, financiado por el Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial y ejecutado por FAO y UICN. La metodología se probó en cinco países (Burkina Faso, Kenia, Kirguistán, Níger y Uruguay) para comprobar su eficacia y valor. Se hicieron las revisiones necesarias a la metodología, basadas en las lecciones aprendidas de su aplicación. Este informe documenta las buenas prácticas de gestión de los pastizales y tierras de pastoreo como una forma de informar las decisiones sobre la gestión de los mismos; y generar conciencia sobre la importancia de las prácticas de gestión identificadas localmente. Destaca el hecho de que estas prácticas de gestión de los pastizales no coinciden necesariamente con las prácticas definidas por los científicos y ecólogos. El público objetivo de este documento de trabajo incluye a los responsables de la toma de decisiones, a los gestores de las tierras, a otros usuarios de las mismas y a los científicos.
