Dear Ann, I am enclosing an interesting study on the Ouarzazate Solar
project.
I visited the area, I went to meet ranchers in the context of saving an
endangered breed of wool sheep by absorption, since wool is no longer worth
anything. The breeders we met did not complain about the station, on the
contrary they found it to be an opportunity for work. land has a
collective status, to have it requires the consent of the communities.

Hello all,
There are a number of solar energy farms being established within
Australia’s rangelands, and a small number of wind farms. There is likely
to be increasing areas under solar, especially along the Tropic of
Capricorn which provides very efficient energy yields. This is seen by most
people to be a positive, including the pastoralists on the land.
In Australia, this is not a problem, as our land is privately owned (or
under long-term leases from the government) and the pastoralist decides for
themselves if they wish to enter into a commercial arrangement to establish
the solar farm. There is a proposal for a very large renewables energy
precinct to be established near Longreach in Queensland, which will
incorporate glasshouse horticulture, fertiliser production and more. It is
expected to generate 200-300 jobs for the local town, which only has a
population of 1,400 people. It will be a major economic boost but with very
few negative environmental impacts.
Is this issue really about the on-going marginalisation of pastoralists in
countries where their rights to access land is weak? It seems that in many
countries every other land use and industry has greater rights to access
land than traditional pastoralism, and pastoralists are being increasingly
marginalised.

*Subject:* [IYRP General List] Fw: Large-scale renewable energy generation
and pastoralism
Hi Ann,
Hi All,
In reaction to the topic, I must simply say that “ There are no empty lands
any more and there have never been”, and the areas presently used by
pastoralists for livelihood are not enough any more as more space is needed
to compensate for the regression in biomass production due to general
climate change…
This issue of pastoralists and solar energy parks is interesting (wind mill
energy does not pose any serious problem or serious conflict with
pastoralists land use). Many thanks to Mayank Nomad from NAG-DNT, for the
link he provided in relation to the subject in India. I agree and confirm
the facts stated in the article. The same land issues are raised in other
places of the world when mega solar energy projects are at stake. One other
serious issue is be considered in these projects; they seem to have an
incredible negative impact on air humidity and on natural water resources.
This impact needs to be documented…
These projects, if not done in a participatory way, will end up in creatng
more conflicts.
Cheers

*Subject:* [IYRP General List] Large-scale renewable energy generation and
pastoralism
Dear all,
A member of Agrecol Association, Joerg Haas, has been working for years on
issues of climate change and renewable energy. He is aware that “empty”
land in the drylands that could be used to generate solar or wind power is
often not empty at all and that such energy generation may impact
negatively on pastoralists. He would like to know how big this problem is,
and he is seeking ideas or examples of creative ways of ensuring that
pastoralists can co-exist with large-scale renewable energy development and
even benefit from it.
Do you know of reports, ideas or examples of:
a) cases of land grabbing in pastoral areas for generating renewable
energy; and/or
b) examples of good practice of reconciling the interests of renewable
energy generation and the interests of pastoralists?
If so, please share them with Joerg (mail at joerghaas.de) and me.
Looking forward to your responses,
Ann

Hi Ann,
many thanks - this is interesting.
I'd be interested to hear if you or others on this list have come across
instances of land grabbing in semiarid lands for large scale solar farms?
Due to the massive cost decrease of photovoltaics, solar energy derived vom
large scale solar farms in the dry tropics and subtropics is now among the
cheapest sources of electricity. This is a good thing, given the climate
emergency that we are facing.
But I worry what this means for the land rights of pastoralists in arid and
semi-arid regions? Are they going to be pushed aside for the purpose of
energy generation?
How could the interests of pastoralist and the interests of renewable
energy generation to avoid climate breakdown be reconciled? Do best
practices exist, code of conducts, etc.?
Best

Dear all,
This 4-pager entitled “This is our land: why reject the privatization of
customary land” is not specifically about pastoralists in Eastern Africa
but is certainly very relevant for them.
It is based on the 42-page report “Driving dispossession: the global push
