The paper is based on a study of two groups of animal raising tribes who own common-tribal rangeland resources along the Suleiman mountain ranges of the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The two groups share the same physical environment, natural resource base, and animal farming technology, but differ in their systems of property rights, and in resource use related aspects of tribal, family, and religious institutions. The paper looks at the impact of the two types of institutional arrangements on resource use and productivity. An analysis of institutions shows that while traditional institutions provide incentives to limit resource use and avoid depletion, no such constraining incentives exist under the changed institutional environment. It is concluded that one way to alleviate the situation would be to strengthen traditional resource use related institutions where they have weakened and build structures that hold the traditional concepts of cooperation where the same have disintegrated.
