This episode of the REPAiR Podcast is the third in a series that explores myths about rangelands and the ideas behind them, and what alternative stories and ideas can be found. This time, we’re talking about the myth that pastoralists need ‘more markets’ to thrive.
The event is introduced by Linda Pappagallo, coordinator of the REPAiR Project’s Rangeland Myths initiative. Our guest speakers were two historians: Timothy Gibbs (Paris Nanterre University), who shares insights on markets in South Africa, and Oluwaṣeun Williams (University College Dublin), who discusses the history of the livestock trade in Nigeria. You’ll also hear some reactions from Ilse Köhler-Rollefson, vet, writer and researcher on camels and pastoralism; and Lars Otto Naess, who works on climate adaptation and resilience at the Institute of Development Studies.
This event is part of our engagement with the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, taking place for the whole of 2026.
