Description
Abstract: In West Africa, pastoralists seasonally move along transhumance corridors to provide feed for their herds. Our research describes and maps movement patterns along these corridors. We identify some land and resource management challenges that arise from these corridors, and describe how our findings will be used by local communities to improve local management of natural resources.
