PROMOTING PEACEFUL TRANSHUMANCE IN NORTHERN CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
This report describes how transhumance patterns in Vakaga are changing. There are more people and more animals on the move, timings are less regular because of more erratic weather, routes are less predictable because of environmental and social pressures, and sources of support or drivers of insecurity along the way are less reliable because they are influenced by national and local politics. Yet the essence of transhumance remains unchanged: its purpose is to keep livestock alive and thriving by moving them to wherever sustainable pasture can be found.
