"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.

The picture below show members of those attending the meeting celebrating the formal launch by waving the report.
