Body

The first attempt at scientific management of rangelands ini Dera Ghazi Khan, Pakistan, was made in 1960. However, the efforts failed to yield good results, and the area, being extremely arid, was declared unsuitable for range improvement (GOWP 1970). The senior author surveyed the area and prepared another range management project for the area in 1982. Range improvement techniques were designed keeping in view the local ecological conditions. The results obtained so far are very encouraging. The story of failure and success of range improvements in D. G. Khan is presented here for the benefit of the readers. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management, the National Agricultural Library, and the University of Arizona Libraries. The Rangelands archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. Contact lbry-journals@email.arizona.edu for further information.
