'Somaliland pastoralists are changing microclimates in 23 sites in the midst of degraded rangelands. Threatened by climate change, in their quest for more fodder, they protect thousands of hectares and proudly show grass and bush species that were thought to be extinct, and springs that produce water and attract wildlife, thought to be long gone. This book gives us great inspiration that on top of all these little victories against hunger, we can create a patchwork of improved microclimates across Somaliland - and in the near future, across the Horn of Africa.' Thomas Hoerz, Welthungerhilfe, Somaliland 'The bottom up and proactive steps to manage local climates contained within this practical and well written book are the perfect resilience strategy. They provide a natural, positive way for people to thrive within uncertainty. This book is essential reading for everyone working in natural resource management.' Professor Nathanial Matthews, CEO of the Global Resilience Partnership 'Both empirical as well as scientific evidence have confirmed the two-ways interaction of land and climate. This book adequately presents such proofs, and more importantly, describes how to manage the local climate as a new way to positively respond to climate change.' Yasir A. Mohamed, Ex minister of water resources, Sudan
