Description of Study Site
Semi-arid climate - subsistence agro-pastoralism
Droughts are endemic - with an estimated recurrence interval of 10-18 years
The area is recognized as a hotspot of land degradation driven by overgrazing and dry season wind erosion
The Boteti River has been dry for over 25years, and has negatively affected livelihoods in the area
