Ecological Footprint of Goat Meat from Nomadic Pastoralist Families in Turkey
The report “Ecological Footprint of Goat Meat from Nomadic Pastoralist Families in Turkey,” resulting from our collaboration with the Global Footprint Network has been published! The report analyses the ecological footprint of the nomadic pastoralism practised by the Sarıkeçili community in Turkey.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 15
Mobile pastoralists, such as the Sarıkeçili of Turkey, demonstrate significant resilience and adaptability to climate change through their mobility, use of local breeds, and communal land management. Their traditional practices support biodiversity and sustainable resource use, making them key allies in climate adaptation efforts.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 14
Mobile pastoralism, exemplified by the Bacak family's migration in Turkey, is highlighted as a climate-friendly livestock farming system. It reduces fossil fuel use, maintains carbon-rich soils, and sustains ecosystems, making it a crucial tool for climate change adaptation and mitigation and biodiversity conservation.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 13
The Bacak family's spring migration in Turkey underscores mobile pastoralism's role in biodiversity and climate-friendly practices. Their use of livestock-guarding dogs offers insights into human-wildlife coexistence. Addressing habitat loss and integrating pastoralist knowledge with scientific expertise fosters harmonious coexistence.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 12
The Bacak family's spring migration in Turkey demonstrates mobile pastoralism’s role in enhancing habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity. Their movement improves structural and functional ecosystem connectivity, vital for species diversity and resilience. Conservation measures are essential to support and preserve these migration routes.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 10
The Bacak family of Sarıkeçili nomadic pastoralists in Turkey exemplify how mobile pastoralism aids biodiversity. Their livestock's migration routes act as ecological corridors, facilitating seed dispersal over long distances and preventing habitat isolation.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 8
The Bacak family's spring migration in Turkey highlights mobile pastoralism's cultural and ecological significance. It offers essential survival skills and socialization for pastoralist children. However, current education policies disrupt their participation. Adaptive education policies are needed, and social isolation remains a key challenge.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 7
Mobile pastoralism, illustrated by the Bacak family's migration, offers significant benefits for water cycle regulation. It reduces water resource pressure, prevents nutrient leaching, and maintains traditional water infrastructures supporting biodiversity. Mobile livestock consume water sustainably and enhance soil structure, demonstrating minimal environmental impact.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 6
The Bacak family's spring migration highlights the benefits of mobile pastoralism for biodiversity and climate. Livestock grazing enhances soil stability, restores vegetation, and prevents erosion. Seasonal migration allows pastures to recover, improves plant and arthropod diversity, and increases soil resilience.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 5
Nomadic pastoralism, as practiced by the Sarıkeçili family in Turkey, plays a crucial role in wildfire prevention. Grazing reduces biomass, thereby decreasing fire fuel. Abandoning pastoral practices increases fire risks, making this traditional method vital for environmental health and wildfire mitigation.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 4
We are documenting the Bacak family's spring migration in Turkey, showcasing mobile pastoralism's role in biodiversity and climate-friendly practices. This traditional lifestyle maintains ecosystems and offers insights into sustainable living, drawing interest from multiple research fields for its ecological and social benefits.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 3
Mobile pastoralism, exemplified by the Bacak family's spring migration in Turkey, is highlighted as a biodiversity-friendly practice. It efficiently uses natural resources, water, energy, and land, providing a sustainable way to produce food in areas unsuitable for crops.
On the Move for Spring Migration: Day 2
This spring, we follow the Bacak family of Sarıkeçili nomads in Turkey on their migration, highlighting mobile pastoralism's ecological and cultural significance. This practice preserves biodiversity and cultural heritage, showing adaptive human-nature interactions despite modern challenges faced by nomadic communities.
