The Ankole Longhorn Cattle Sustain our Life and Livelihood - We have to Conserve Them
The launch of an important report held in February 2010 at Sanga, Nyabushozi Kiruhura District.
Herders'
representatives and other stakeholders led the official launch of this
study. Nearly 100 people attended this meeting, almost all of whom were
herders from the local district where the work had been done. 41 were
women.
The importance of the work was emphasised by the number of
senior government officials present, in particular the National Animal
Genetic Resources Centre and Data Bank. In addition, representatives of
LPP, LIFE and PENHA (UK) were present.
