Land fragmentation, population growth, climate change and modernization are creating challenges for traditional pastoral livelihoods worldwide. These changes are forcing many young pastoralists to make new types of decisions about their future. In our study in the Samburu region of Kenya, we conducted a paired comparison about preferences for the future by adolescent male pastoralists, who practice herding as their primary livelihood, and their male peers who attend secondary school in lieu of herding. Participants were presented with all possible pairings of 15 options that represented a mix of traditional and contemporary livelihoods and traditions, and asked to select their preference between each pairing. Results were tabulated to elicit a ranked preference list of one (1) to 15. Results indicate strong favourability by both herders and students toward education for their future children as well as a desire to work for community conservancies. Beyond those commonalities, however, student and herders differed significantly. Students generally rated non-pastoral options highest, and their ratings had a high level of within-group agreement. In contrast, herders were more mixed about options for their future, with both pastoral and non-pastoral options receiving a diversity of ratings from very high to very low. These conclusions raise questions about the future of pastoralism in Samburu, and the identity and cultural roles of young male herders for the future.

肯尼亚桑布鲁的年轻牧民和学生对未来的看法成对比较

土地分割,人口增长,气候变化和现代化正在为世界范围内的传统牧民生活带来挑战。这些变化迫使许多年轻的牧民对他们的未来做出新的决定。在肯尼亚桑布鲁地区的研究中,我们进行了成对比较,比较了以牧民为主要生计的青春期男性牧民与以中学代替牧民的男性同龄人的未来偏好。为参加者提供了15种选择的所有可能配对,这些选择代表了传统和现代生计和传统的混合,并要求他们在每对配对中选择偏好。将结果制成表格,以得出一(1)到15的排名偏好列表。结果表明,牧民和学生都非常欢迎他们未来的孩子接受教育,并渴望为社区保护工作。除了这些共同点,学生和牧民之间的差异也很大。通常,学生对非牧师选择的评价最高,并且他们的评价具有很高的组内协议水平。相比之下,牧民对他们未来的选择的看法更加复杂,牧草和非牧草的选择都受到了从高到低的不同评级。这些结论引起了关于桑布鲁畜牧业的未来以及年轻男性牧民在未来的身份和文化角色的疑问。学生和牧民差异很大。通常,学生对非牧师选择的评价最高,并且他们的评价具有很高的组内协议水平。相比之下,牧民对他们未来的选择的看法更加复杂,牧草和非牧草的选择都受到了从高到低的不同评级。这些结论引起了关于桑布鲁畜牧业的未来以及年轻男性牧民在未来的身份和文化角色的疑问。学生和牧民差异很大。通常,学生对非牧师选择的评价最高,并且他们的评价具有很高的组内协议水平。相比之下,牧民对他们未来的选择的看法更加复杂,牧草和非牧草的选择都受到了从高到低的不同评级。这些结论引起了关于桑布鲁畜牧业的未来以及年轻男性牧民在未来的身份和文化角色的疑问。
