Rangelands cover about 54% of the global land surface, and about 43% of Africa’s land area. Most of the world rangelands are managed for extensive livestock production that characterize pastoralism, and wildlife conservation. Rangelands directly support about 500 million pastoralists, agro-pastoralists, hunters and gatherers, ranchers, and about 2 billion people worldwide who indirectly rely on them for a range of social, economic and environmental services. As the world’s population grows and demand for animal products rise, the role rangelands in producing forage for livestock production becomes increasingly important to global food security. Rangelands contain nearly 30% of the world’s terrestrial carbon, making them very crucial for mitigating climate change. Rangeland ecosystems therefore need far more global attention and protection to sustainably supply these numerous ecosystem services. The module is intended to equip the learners with a good understanding of the arid and semi-arid rangeland ecosystems and pastoral production systems that dominates these ecosystems. Learners are expected to acquire knowledge and skills in rangeland resource management and monitoring using both the conventional and traditional approaches. Students shall gain knowledge and hands on skills in application of technology (GIS and digital applications) in rangeland assessment to guide decisions, as well as application of systems approach for rangeland management. Learners will be introduced to the concepts and principles of one health approach and livestock disease surveillance in the rangelands. Additionally, the students are expected to acquire knowledge and skills in nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation in the rangelands and the mitigation co-benefits. The course is designed to test students understanding and application of learnt skills through participation in demonstrations, case studies, ecological measurements, practical GIS analyses, participatory exercises, continuous assessment tests, term paper, seminar presentations, and final examination. It is expected that the module will guide the students’ research study ideas and design. The module has 60 contact hours, which shall be delivered through hybrid approach comprising face-to-face and online sessions.
