The current research investigates Impact Analysis of Camel Behaviour of Eastern Balochistan ranges and Sulaiman mountain ranges. A survey was conducted from 100 respondents from Eastern of Eastern Balochistan ranges and Sulaiman mountain ranges. Structural questionnaire were developed for the validity and reliability of the data.It was revealed that two factors have mainly caused rangeland deterioration (i.e. institutional implications due to excessive population growth and external social and economic forces coupled with no management). For example, migrations of 0.6 million Afghan refugees with their 4.8 million animals to Balochistan have devastated large scale grazing resources in northern highlands. Other effects of this sudden increase equivalent to 14% of total livestock and human population in Balochistan on a fragile environment have been drastic (Cossins, 1988). On other hand, differentiation within communal setup has gradually given way to increased divergence of interest and unequal concentration of power. This, in turn, enabled the more powerful families to press for exclusionary use and de facto appropriation of common resources and as a consequence, subverting and eroding gradually the corporate communal institutional arrangements.
