Members of our research team have experience working in areas all over the
globe. We selected three areas to use as study sites in DREAMAR. These
areas have things in common, such as being inhabited by livestock producers
and being fairly well-studied. The sites are also contrasts. For example,
the Northern Great Plains site is developed, with out-migration of people,
and family farms being purchased by corporate entities. Kajiado District
and Bayankhongor Province are developing, with Kajiado inhabited by Maasai
intensifying land use, and the Mongolians of Bayankhongor continuing to
recover from an economic down-turn associated with the collapse of the
Soviet system.
