During the past century, due to population growth, agricultural land development and the expansion of residential areas, the pressure on rangelands has increased dramatically and in many parts of the world the pastures have been degraded and reduced in size. Therefore, many governments have tried to reduce the degradation of pastures and control the grazing process. Through laws, policies and plans, governments manage natural ecosystems and try to improve them during time based on political and economic approaches, scientific achievements, ecological transformations and social changes. Therefore, studying the effectiveness of policies used in rangelands management can play a very important role in guiding governments to improve management processes and update the rules and regulations. Considering the decrease in the area and quality of rangelands, it can be concluded that the government’s programs in rangeland management have not been effective enough.
