Dick Tinsley has spoken about the tragedy of the commons and asks what can be 
done about it.
Land reform is one possibility.
Alternative mechanisms for access, such as the at one time much touted 
community land company wherein members held 'shares' in the land and could 
depasture stock according to their 'share' or could rent out their share or 
sell it.
Alternatively schemes have been tried wherein grazing management is used of 
varying systems to enhance productivity.
Areas where DfID could make some inroads if this has not or is not already 
being done?
Thanks
