Sorry to have some administrative/logistic questions. 1) I have seen the meeting schedule only today and it might be that I am unavailable to attend some classes.

Just to make sure I can organize with the rest of my schedule! 🙂 Thank you! 17:32:01 From Christine O'Reilly : Reacted to "Hello there everyone..." with 👍 17:32:04 From Christine O'Reilly : Removed a 👍 reaction from "Hello there everyone..." 17:32:09 From Christine O'Reilly : Reacted to "Thanks for pointing ..." with 👍 17:32:16 From Fiona Underwood : Reacted to "Thanks for pointing ..." with 👍 17:32:54 From Ashrah Shereni : Reacted to "Thanks for pointing ..." with 👍🏾 17:33:42 From The Grassroots Institute : Dear Roxane, please visit the course page and read the information. Click "Contents", and read the Introduction part. You will receive the answer to your questions. 17:34:11 From Ute Schneiderat : My question is a general related to the field study and topics in this course. It might be not part of this lecture today. I saw the focus should be on Europe or Asia. Whats about Africa, as some colleuges coming from Karamoja Region in Uganda and it is a very interesting area with a lot of challenges and conflicts. I am sure, we find some good small research question soem participants could work, even with a small field work. 17:37:10 From Maria Chiara Camporese : Replying to "Dear Roxane, please ..." I couldn’t find information about how long the meetings will last. Where can we find that information? 17:37:44 From Roxane Bradaczek : Replying to "Dear Roxane, please ..." Thank you for making me aware! I could now see that 60% of live lecture attendence is needed for the courses, but I could not see how long a zoom session goes! 17:38:12 From Ashrah Shereni : Replying to "My question is a gen..." Great insight there. I also noticed that. I guess as a fellow African we can incorporate some examples through participation. 17:38:45 From Ute Schneiderat : Maybe parts of the natural rangeland areas are turning step by step into pastureland with more and more management or improvements? 17:39:37 From Marleni Loysaya : Kindly can you share with us this presentation of today's topics? 17:40:21 From Ashrah Shereni : I get your question @Cynthia Hathaway😁. 17:40:30 From Roxane Bradaczek : Reacted to "I get your question ..." with ❤️ 17:43:47 From Ute Schneiderat : In areas close to the sea, like the Netherlands, there are shepards who take care of the sheep grazing at the dikes, who needs to be maintained and to keep the grass cover dense and short. This is a management of these grazing areas covering the dikes. This is then the use of pasture by this shepards. 17:44:28 From Moses Loku : Reacted to "I get your question …" with ❤️ 17:44:30 From Moses Loku : Removed a ❤️ reaction from "I get your question …" 17:51:29 From David Olwa : Just wanted to ask Christine if the livestock herders in Canada are fence up. because if the ranches re fenced then its not pastoralism I think. 17:52:48 From Fiona Underwood : Does it also make a difference depending on who owns the land that the animals are grazing on? Do pastoralists generally use common land or other people's land whereas ranchers may own the land that the animals are grazing on? 17:53:46 From Christine O'Reilly : Replying to "Just wanted to ask C..." Yes, ranches are usually fenced. The average ranch in Alberta is over 1000 acres, so they are not small areas. But I think fencing is a helpful distinction between what is and is not pastoralism 17:56:36 From Ashrah Shereni : Replying to "Just wanted to ask C..." True that, but I also have a case. Over 100 000 acres, fences down except the boundary. However, there's holistic grazing management. Livestock rotate. 17:57:00 From Cynthia Hathaway : Replying to "Does it also make a ..." interesting addition/comment/question 17:57:15 From Roxane Bradaczek : Reacted to "Yes, ranches are usu..." with ❤️ 17:57:19 From Christine O'Reilly : Replying to "Just wanted to ask C..." Livestock rotate on Canadian ranches as well. Some only have a boundary fence, some have interior fencing to assist with rotational grazing 17:57:45 From Cynthia Hathaway : yes 17:58:09 From Cynthia Hathaway : yes good volume 17:58:09 From Maria Chiara Camporese : yes 17:58:14 From Roxane Bradaczek : yes, volume's good 17:58:16 From Ashrah Shereni : Yes we can hear you. 17:58:20 From Fiona Underwood : Yes volume is good now thanks 17:59:31 From Fiona Underwood : Yes, I have found the forum but I can't post a response 18:01:02 From Ute Schneiderat : I could not find the space to create a new post. I can try again now. 18:01:36 From Fiona Underwood : I have just tried again - went in and out of the course - and it now seems to have appeared. Thank you! 18:02:46 From Ute Schneiderat : Hat auf "I have just tried ..." mit 👍 reagiert 18:05:21 From Cynthia Hathaway : is the global lecture recorded so we can see it later if we cannot attend? or do I have to see with the organizers of the global lecture? 18:09:08 From Cynthia Hathaway : what is meant by the button “passed unit’? 18:12:29 From Ute Schneiderat : How can I send a new topic? 18:14:00 From Ishrat Roomi : Great initiative!
