La lutte contre l'ensablement des cuvettes oasiennes dans les départements de Gouré et de Maïné-Soroa est réalisée à travers deux techniques de fixation des dunes: (i) la fixation mécanique ou primaire (palissades inertes, fascines) qui stabilise les masses sableuses en mouvement ou empêche la formation de ces masses sableuses sur des obstacles (infrastructures, boisements, bordures de cuvettes), et (ii) la fixation biologique ou définitive qui consiste à créer une couverture végétale permanente sur la dune.

Pastoralist field schools improve livelihoods and resilience of pastoral communities through a process of hands-on experimental and participatory learning. They are "schools without walls" that introduce good agricultural and marketing practices while building on local knowledge. The PFS approach builds heavily on the basic principles of discovery based learning to address a wide range of issues affecting pastoral livelihoods.

Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) in pastoral zones is a simple and low-cost agroforestry technique. It involves locating and preserving shoots from stumps of woody and herbaceous vegetation on communal land used for agro-pastoralism, sylvo-pastoralism or pastoralism. The aim is to accelerate the process of natural regeneration resulting from natural seedlings or from sprouting stumps inherently present in the area.

This approach, traditional in nature and supported by the National Mechanism for the Prevention and Management of Disasters and Food Crises (DNPGCCA), consists of a Geographical Information System, which integrates the water resources, the movement of populations, and the spatial distribution of grazing land, also in terms of the quantities of forage resources. The objective of the approach is to provide a tool to support the management of pastoralism and the identification, tracking and prevention of potential food crises.

The transhumance pastoral communities of Southern Angola traditionally held gatherings of chieftains and community leaders to discuss management of commonly held pastoral resources. However, the conflicts of the last century led to the breakdown in traditional governance and the majority of the traditional management systems were abandoned. The RETESA Project has supported their recovery as a way to reduce land degradation and improve local livelihoods.

Le Champ Ecole (CE) Pastorale, une école «sans murs», est un cadre de rencontre et de formation pour un groupe de 20 à 30 éleveurs de la zone pastorale du Niger, qui se déroule sur une aire de pâturage communautaire, tout au long de l'année. C’est un lieu d’échange d’expériences et de connaissances où des producteurs éleveurs qui partagent les mêmes intérêts, recherchent, discutent et prennent des décisions sur la gestion des troupeaux et des ressources naturelles en partant de leur situation réelle.

A system for ecological monitoring provides accurate observations on the development of sylvo-pastoral resources, the management of which is handed over to land users who are organized in a local association. In order to monitor the ecological status of the land, a method to record the Vegetation Cover Index (VCI) was developed to register changes compared with an initial survey.

Pastoralism, as practiced in the case study area, is the traditional mode of extensive livestock husbandry, based on the movement of herds between the rich pastures in the northern pastoral zones (rainy season) and the southern areas (dry season) according to seasonal availability of water and grazing land / fodder (including residual vegetation of cropland).

Les techniques de restauration sont généralement les plus conseillées si la dégradation n’a pas encore atteint le seuil d’irréversibilité et ce en raison de la facilité de leur application ainsi que leur coût relativement faible) Parmi les opérations de restauration, la mise en repos est la technique la plus couramment utilisée pour assurer la remontée biologique spontanée de la végétation originaire dégradée. Les résultats de la mise en repos réalisés dans plusieurs endroits arides où la dynamique de la végétation a connu un blocage, témoignent de l’efficacité de cette technique. Cette efficacité se traduit par une réinstallation et une régénération des espèces de haute valeur pastorale ayant disparu.
