Senegalese herders have raised livestock for centuries. Climate change is threatening their future.

• Climate change is impacting grazing periods for livestock. 
• Pastoralists in Senegal have to start their journeys earlier and travel further for their herds to graze.
• The UN estimates Senegalese pastoralists supply 65% of meat and 70% of milk sold at local markets in the region. 

As the climate changes in Senegal, pastoralists — or cattle, sheep, and goat herders — are experiencing an evolving set of problems.
