Abstract: Excerpts from the Introduction: This report fulfills the April 10, 1968 agreement between the Chad Basin Commission (CBC) and the United States Agency for International Development (AID) which provided for a survey of range management and livestock within the Chad Basin Commission area. The team was asked to analyze the potentials for range management within the Chad Basin Commission's jurisdiction in Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Nigeria; to identify the obstacles to developing range resources and improving the livestock industry; and to advise Chad Basin Commission members of the most rational and economic way to exploit their rangeland resources. The survey was made during May-August 1968. Portions of the rangelands within each country were examined. Discussions were held with government, mission and industry personnel, and several modern abattoirs were visited.
