Abstract
Maslakh Range Project, Quetta, West Pakistan was started in 1954 as a pilot research, training and demonstration scheme. During its first ten years sufficient knowledge has been gained to enable us to extend scientific range management to other areas. The results of range improvement studies have been indicated. Complete protection from grazing for a minimum period of five years seems to be essential to enable the area to allow proper grazing management. '"Pitting of flat land has proved to be useful. The provision of stock water and supplemental feed and protection from inclement weather and from predators such as wolves is important to make the programme a success. The recommendations for future management of similar grasslands have been given.
