[IYRPsupportgroup] [CELEP] Pastoralists as family farmers: some more details

[loupa pius]

Dear Ann,

Thank you for sharing the brief,
It would also be good in future to consider recommendations towards
establishing the real population estimates for pastoralists in all regions
(Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and also North America).
Not forgetting the livestock population stats in same regions.

For example in Uganda since last livestock census in 2008, livestock stats
have not been taken into consideration that might be the reason as to why
pastoralists  are being targeted negatively in Uganda.

Cheers

Loupa
