In February 2012, 23 participants from Africa, Europe and Asia undertook a learning journey in the pastoral lands of Kenya and Tanzania. Over 12 days they visited pastoralist communities, and learned about land use systems, natural resource management and the challenges local rangeland users face in maintaining their livelihoods and their culture. At the end of the journey, four participants reflect on what they have learned, including messages for policymakers, their favourite moments, and how their thinking has been changed by the learning journey.
