\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
This study conducted at Kalemando Locality, North Darfur State aimed to investgate camel herder perceptions of range plants utilisation. The methods of the study were brief questionnaires. Data were analysed  using SPSS. T-Test was used to estimate significance of differences between means. The results showed that the preferred plants by camels were \textit{Acacia mellifera} (\mbox{7.62\,\%}), \textit{Acacia Senegal} (\mbox{6.39\,\%}), \textit{Blepharis linarifolia} (\mbox{4.91\,\%}), \textit{Acacia nubica} (\mbox{4.18\,\%}),\textit{Acacia tortilis} ( \mbox{3.93\,\%}), \textit{Ipomoea sinensis} (\mbox{3.93\,\%}), and \textit{Boscia sengalensis} (\mbox{3.93\,\%}). The plant species that recently invaded the area as stated by herders include \textit{Eragrostis tremula} (\mbox{41.66\,\%}), \textit{Leptadenia pyrotechnica} (\mbox{25\,\%}), \textit{Schoenfeldia gracilis} (\mbox{22.92\,\%}) and \textit{Calotropis procera}. The range plants reported by respondents that are not preferred by camels were \textit{Cassia italica} (\mbox{14.91\,\%}), \textit{Eragrostis tremula} (\mbox{14.04\,\%}), \textit{Guiera sengalensis} (\mbox{11.40\,\%}) and \textit{Calotropis procera} (\mbox{10.53\,\%}). Plant species that no longer exist despite their presence in the past in the study area were \textit{Blepharis linarifolia} (\mbox{30.26\,\%}), \textit{Monosnia sengalensis} (\mbox{15.79\,\%}) and \textit{Tephrosia} spp (\mbox{11.84\,\%}). About \mbox{88\,\%} of the respondents said the poisonous plants in the pasture were \textit{Tephrosia} spp (\mbox{55.22\,\%}) and \textit{Cuscuta hyaline} (\mbox{16.42\,\%}). The study on pastoralists' perceptions on rangeland resources and utilisation were meant to improve our understanding of the interactions between the human and livestock and their environment from the pastoralists' standpoint. It is recommended that these findings should be considered as a basis for an informed management system in the state which will be invaluable in developing sustainable management strategies for use by pastoralists.    }
