While exact figures are unavailable, large numbers of pastoralists graze India’s forests, grasslands and farm fallows, making significant contributions to India’s food security, biodiversity, livelihoods and crafts. Despite this, they remain marginalised, their mobility often seen as a lifestyle that needs to give way to a more settled mode. Pastoral Dialogues is a curated set of conversations on all things pastoral, covering the histories, lives and cultures of these communities.
Kalpavriksh, Centre for Pastoralism and the Indian Commoner are pleased to invite you to the 3rd of a series of curated conversations on Indian Pastoralism - from Pastoral Dialogues.
This dialogue features Ced Hesse, who has done research for several years on climate resilience in drylands, currently based at IIED, in conversation with Natashu Maru, PhD student at IDS who has spent several years engaging with pastoralist issues.
Resilience at intersections: Pastoralism’s relationship with climate change will explore pastoralism's adaptive capacity and resilience in the face of new climate related challenges.
Join us on Zoom: Meeting ID 860 8664 6071
We look forward to having you!
With best wishes,
Meenal, Shruti and Riya
