Known for making allegorical films in exotic locations, Werner Herzog worked briefly in American television before making documentaries and short subjects. He has a reputation for an intense some would say obsessive vision and commitment, but naysayers question his ability to tell a story that moviegoers can follow. His most famous features include Aguirre: The Wrath of God Fitzcarraldo Heart of Glass (1984) and Invincible Herzog has frequently worked with actor Klaus Kinski... The 1982 documentary

Extractions: 3 Results and Interpretation During one yearly cycle Wodaabe herds and households move through a number of different ecological situations represented by indigenous categories of season. At the very beginning of the rainy season, Wodaabe herders leave the clayey plains of Kawlaa (south-eastern part of the map, e.g. locations Kabelawa, Baroua, Toumour, Kinziandi; see photo 1 ) where they spent the dry season to set out for the first part of their seasonal migration ( Baartol , see photos ) and reach a zone of sandy dunes (south-western part of map, e.g. locations Issari, Maine Soroa; see photo ). Decisive to this movement is the herders consideration of soil quality in these two areas. Light sand of the dune area is considered as allowing for a fast sprouting of grass and herbs whereas heavy dark clay of the plain area is considered as only allowing for slow sprouting. The first light rains produce young shoots more quickly and early in sandy than in clayey soils. Herders recognise the relation between soil quality and plant growth and put this knowledge into systematic use for three reasons:

Extractions: This paper will present results from empirical research on the local environmental knowledge of nomadic Wodaabe cattle herders of South-eastern Niger to show in detail how pastoral migration strategies are based, on the one hand, on a general classification of the whole plant world, and on the other, on a particular knowledge of plant species, their distribution and their vegetative cycles. Rather than being only adapted, this knowledge allows herders to actively organise the ecological conditions of their arid Savannah environment to suit their economic goals (the improvement of herd performance through pastoral mobility and specialisation). Thus, to give one example, by applying this knowledge, the herders manage to supply their cattle with high quality pasture for as long a period during the yearly cycle as possible. It will be further shown that the general classification of plants is a reflection of the Wodaabes pastoral practices and values.
