In the lead-up to the International Year of Camelids (IYC) in 2024, several civil society organisations (CSOs) – including CELEP – have issued a statement to draw the attention of governments, donors, policymakers, scientists and the private sector to the distinct ecological and cultural aspects that should be considered when striving to support the development of camelid-keeping systems and related value chains worldwide. See the statement here, which was issued on the occasion of the FAO Conference on Sustainable Livestock Transformation in September 2023.
