The article analyzes the changes in indigenous range management among the Borana pastoralists and the role of development interventions in Ethiopia. Different development interventions were experienced at Dida Hara and Web, that once were part of a large grazing system with seasonally distinct herd movements. Rangelands have experienced severe degradation and rapid growth of the human population reduced the per capita availability of the resources. The function distinctions between all-year grazing areas and temporary rainy season pastures are being eroded as shown in the comparison of traditional land-use classification and herd movements.
