N2 - This chapter explores the management of communal rangelands in Botswana. The approach links national analysis with local observations from case studies inpublished literature and the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s(IUCN’s) work on participatory planning and community engagement in naturalresource management in Kgalagadi District, where the legal and policy opportunities and constraints to achieving sustainable land management are examined. Kgalagadi District is the southernmost district of Botswana and lies within the Kalahari Desert. Despite Botswana’s progressive approach to developing the robust landadministration and land tenure systems that contribute to good governance andeconomic progress, in reality land management is still confronted by the need toconnect a traditional communal rangeland management system with a growingurban economy and an increasing land market.
