Goats in a corral in the High Monte of Northwest Argentina. The animals graze during the day and are returned to the corral at sunset to prevent predation. Rural outmigration in the region is coupled with a marked reduction in livestock herd sizes, as an article in this issue shows. Photo by Ana L. Dip Yordanoff

Rural outmigration and land use change, mapping and learning, etc
