Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the ACTION of rangeland-depended livestock holders regarding rangeland conservation, including protection and rehabilitation activities and to analyse relevant influencing factors, using a mixed method of survey and case study. The data were collected through analysing existing documents, focus groups, semi-structured and structured interviews using questionnaires submitted to 204 rural livestock holders in the MAHNESHAN Township. The quantitative data were analysed using SPSS and AMOS software. According to the results FARMERs’ KNOWLEDGE regarding the role, importance and factors affecting rangeland degradation was relatively high, however they had a low level of KNOWLEDGE and ACTION about mechanical conservation techniques. The ACTION of livestock holders in terms of biological conservation activities and grazing management showed a positive and signifincat corrletaion with variables such as implementing of rangeland projects, their interaction with external institutions, participating in extension training courses, education level and irrigated and rainfed agricultural land size. Moreover, based on a path analysis, 37% of the variance of the FARMERs’ ACTIONs regarding the rangeland conservation was explained by the variables such as rangeland rehabilitation ACTIONs, FARMERs’ conservation KNOWLEDGE, FARMERs’ interaction with natural resources experts, beekeeping, and participating in extension training courses. Promotional and extension activities and FARMERs’ interaction with experts have a positive effect in enhancing FARMERs’ KNOWLEDGE and ACTIONs for sustainable rangeland use and conservation.
