You possibly couldn't find two more diverse sources for quotable "facts" or "truths" however, 
I feel the combination of the two accurately tie together the scope of this Nuffield Report.
The objective of my Scholarship was to investigate rangeland rehabilitation & regeneration
techniques in semi-arid environments so as to assist in building an ecologically sustainable
Semi-Arid Rangelands in Australia.
Having identified the most similar climates around the world through discussions with Dr Ken
Tinley and others, I set out to find as many local contacts in rangeland ecology as possible.
This orientated me to Southern Africa, the southern states of the USA and central Argentina.
Circumstances meant I had to forgo plans to visit Israel, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and
Inner Mongolia China for an International Congress.
Throughout the course of my resultant travels, I continuously came across new leads that time
did not allow me to pursue and, to a certain extent, this has lead to a frustration at not being
able to find out more of the “big picture” of global research and practice.
With that said, I was fortunate to be able to visit with some of the most eminent people
involved in ecologically sustainable rangeland research, education and management today and
my report is only the tip of the iceberg of the knowledge I was provided with.
It has been encouraging to witness the diversity of research and practices being successfully
carried out around the world, indicating there really isn’t a single answer to these complex issues, but with collaboration we can together make a vast positive difference. (source introduction)
