Abstract
This publication is a baseline assessment reviewing the current knowledge of land degradation in the rangelands of Jordan - known as Badia - with a special focus on its causes. It includes a review of current legislation and on-going initiatives to combat land degradation, along with an analysis of the main constraints limiting their effectiveness. It is intended as a guideline for all those involved in organizing the next stages of Oasis and similar project implementation in Jordan – Government officials, international founders and agencies, national research stations, farmers and rural communities.
