Summary
Subsistence farmers in the Richtersveld, South Africa, employ adaptive grazing strategies to sustain livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats across arid landscapes. These strategies include rotational grazing, water management, and land-use planning tailored to the unique botanical landscape of the region. The study highlights how farmers balance traditional practices with modern techniques to mitigate environmental challenges while preserving the cultural and ecological integrity of the UNESCO-listed area.
