Travelling south from Antananarivo, the REPAiR project team are observing & documenting the species of grasses we find by the roadside.

Certain grasses are important for maintaining healthy livestock, and using fire and grazing patterns can help to promote new fresh growth.

“this is an extraordinary way to talk about people’s myriad relationships with the natures around them. Humanity, first depicted as a series of crowds, then as a single species, and then as a *weight*.”

'Carbon' is ever more treated as an abstract commodity that can be traded and swapped across settings, shaping markets, offsets and programmes in rangelands.
Join us next week to discuss the myth that 'carbon is carbon' - a few places are still available!

'Myth: Carbon is carbon' https://t.co/U6eeVe9QUm

Myths and abstractions of carbon are shaping climate policy and markets in new ways: what does this mean for rangelands?

The irony: conservation involving fenced-off 'hard boundaries' can lead to shrinking space for wildlife.

@TeklehaymanotG explored findings from Kenya and Tanzania at our February event on #rangelandmyths about mobility and conflict.

How do we challenge the narrow view of 'nature' as a set of stocks and resources to be traded?

Frank Matose offers a challenge at our event on the myth of the 'Tragedy of the Commons'.

What is property? How does a narrow view of ownership & property lie behind the so-called ‘Tragedy of the Commons’? Frank Matose explains at our event on #RangelandMyths

“Most would agree that the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’ thesis is flawed, logically inconsistent, and downright dangerous…

Yet it has taken on a life of its own as an enduring master myth.” - @Anthropogo

Dust in heat haze. Hooves on dry ground. Red scars slice the hills.

It's a familiar scene. But the photo is an AI-generated image.

@Anthropogo and Linda Pappagallo discuss how 'rangeland myths’ shape our view of landscapes & livelihoods:

Rangelands are the most common land cover on the planet, yet are often misunderstood.

Powerful stories and ‘myths’ have long shaped how rangelands & pastoralists are seen & often misjudged.

In 2026, we explore ways of seeing differently.
