China rangeland distribution
• 41.7% (400millioin ha) of total
territory• Herders: 1.2% (17 million) of
total population
• Distribute in 6 major pastoral
areas :Inner Mongolia;
Xinjiang; Tibet; Qinghai;
Gansu; Sichuan• Elevation 1000m-5000m• Drought, snow disaster,
storms, Source : IIASA LUC Project

China’s Rangeland Tenure Arrangements
• Before 1950– Rangelands were owned by chief of tribes and monasteries; they were
common used within each tribe.
• 1950-1980s– Both rangelands and livestock owned by the state or communities;
Rangelands collectively used within each village.
• 1980s-Present: Rural Land Institutional Reform– 1980s-1990s: Rangelands use right were contracted to group,
collectively used within each group; Livestock were privatized and owned by households;
– 1990s- present : Rangeland use rights were contracted to individual households ;

• By 2013, the contracted rangelands accounted for 71% of China’s total rangeland area (MOA 2014)

After 30 years, impacts?
![Page 8: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Methodology
Review academic perspectives
Data collection method:•Bibliometric analysis using China Academic Network Publishing Database (the largest Chinese academic journal database)
http://epub.cnki.net•Key words search•A total of 68 papers on RHCP
![Page 9: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Methodology
Analysis methods:•Impacts on 4 aspects: 1) ecosystem, 2) income; 3) animal husbandry/livestock production; 4) pastoral society over different durations
•For each aspect, we divide the perspectives into: 1) Supportive, 2) non-supportive;
•Causes: 1) incomplete policy implementation; 2) improper policy

Findings: Ecological Impacts
![Page 11: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Impacts: Income
![Page 12: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Impacts: Pastoral Production
![Page 13: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Impacts: Pastoral Society and Culture
![Page 14: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The negative narratives have increased while the positive narratives have reduced.The negatives: grassland degradation due to fragmentation; animal production cost increased; associated social economic problems
![Page 15: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Increasing perspectives argued that the policy itself is unreasonable
causes of failures

Why?
• Agricultural areas vs. Pastoral areas
![Page 17: A Review of China’s Rangeland Household Contract Policy after Thirty Years of Implementation Wenjun Li, Yanbo Li and Gongbuzeren wjlee@pku.edu.cn Peking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f385503460f94c5476f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• There exists huge difference between pastoral and agricultural areas in terms of natural context
• Land regime is not only related to social economics or politics, but also related to natural context.

What if Rangeland were still Collectively Used ?
• Not all necessarily get rid of “Tragedy of the Commons”.• The preconditions of successful management of
common resources(Ostrom, 1990):– Small scale– Effective monitoring and sanction– …– Particularly, facing social economic context rapidly changing,
the traditional customary institutions need to change accordingly.

Do we have functioning self-management communities? some case studies
• Inner Mongolian, Hulunbeier: herders cooperative, re-aggregation of rangeland.
• Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Ruoergai: Insisting on common use of rangeland with grazing quota allocation to avoid over-grazing.

Conclusions
• There is no “one size fits for all” (or best) land regime, even within one country.
• Pastoral areas need diverse and flexible land institutional arrangements because of the highly variable natural context.

Future ?• Re-aggregation of fragmented rangelands• Challenges:
– Market mechanism: lease, transfer system. Need to decrease the transaction cost caused by highly variable environment, and prevent the short term lease that tends to over use the leased rangeland.
– Cooperatives: need to re-build the fragmented social relationships.
