Across the globe, the legal land rights and tenure of many Indigenous peoples are yet to be recognized. A growing body of research demonstrates that tenure of Indigenous lands improves livelihoods and protects forests in addition to inherently recognizing human rights. However, the effect of tenure on environmental outcomes has scarcely been tested in regions with high development pressure, such as those with persisting forest–agriculture conflicts.

Au cœur du Sahel tchadien à 12° 50’ N et 17° 30’ E, le lac Fitri est considéré comme « le lac Tchad en miniature » (Gillet, 1962 ; Caterina et Marzio, 2005). Très variable, cet hydrosystème endoréique est principalement alimenté par le bahr1 Batha, un tributaire temporaire qui prend sa source à l’est dans le massif du Ouaddaï à plus de 600 km.

2013), new local land offices have been created, and now cover a third of the country’s

tenure security
Land tenure security has come to the forefront of the sustainable development agenda in recent years. In part this is due to its foundational and fundamental nature. Ways to manage and allocate rights over resources, and our relationships to it, are some of the first ‘commons’ issues fledgling societies face. The ripple effects of land tenure security are now widely recognized as having implications for not just the way natural resources are managed, but also for household income and investment, well-being, and health. (excerpt from Forward).
