Un siècle d’évolution du système pastoral de la steppe désertique de Mongolie : diminution de la mobilité des troupeaux, dérégulation de l’accès aux parcours et crise de surpâturage

Abstract

This paper is based on field research on pastoral systems in a desert steppe area of Mongolia. A historical approach makes it possible to demonstrate that, in spite of significant economic and social changes, the region’s grazing system saw quite significant regulation of the fixed patterns of transhumance in the twentieth century. Since 1990, communal use and management of pasture lands has declined, economic conditions have worsened, social disparities increased and the overgrazing crisis is threatening the pastoral system. The sustainability of the system can be based only on both self-governance at a local level for the regulation of land-pasture management and better economic conditions for herders, with higher prices for their products and the creation of added value.
