Cell phones with gps track and monitor the course followed by selected shepherds and their flocks. Using web browsers on the phone, the pastoralists can check to see if an area is occupied or it's been marked as nonfavorable for environmental reasons.
"The necessary practices of seasonal migration, however, are being threatened by decreasing land capacities and competition among herders. To address these concerns, the veterinary science and medicine school of Dakar has partnered with IDRC to encourage pastoralists to adopt sustainable practices."

IDRC's answer? Cell phones with Global Positioning Systems, and web capability
