Collaborative Rangelands Restoration
A community-based rangeland rehabilitation partnership between the Royal Botanic Garden of Jordan and traditional herders near Dibeen Forest Reserve, recognised as a UN World Restoration Flagship. It combines scientific range-management methods with herders' traditional knowledge of grazing rotation, livestock disease and medicinal-plant use.

Inside the project
Over roughly two decades, the Royal Botanic Garden reports biomass production up more than eightfold and grazing days available up sevenfold on the 180 hectares under restoration.
HRH Princess Basma bint Ali, the Garden's founder, describes the work as restoring livelihoods, dignity and the resilience of ecosystems.
Objectives
- Rehabilitate degraded rangeland through combined scientific and traditional grazing management
- Increase biomass production and grazing days available to herding families
Approach
- Scientific range-management method is combined with herders' own traditional knowledge of grazing rotation, livestock disease and medicinal-plant use.
