The Fulani Shepherds Fighting To Keep Africa’s Pastures Alive | SLICE | DOC COMPLET

Across West and Central Africa, millions of Fulani shepherds still move with their herds of zebu cattle and sheep, following water, grass and the rhythm of the dry season. Their way of life is often misunderstood. Yet researchers consider Fulani pastoralism one of the most flexible and sustainable forms of livestock farming in the Sahel, perfectly adapted to fragile lands and unpredictable climates. Today, this world is under threat. Repeated droughts, expanding farmland, blocked migration routes and shrinking access to water and pasture are making transhumance harder every year. Neglected by governments, pressured by local authorities, targeted by bandits and forced to compete with subsidized imported meat, Fulani breeders are fighting to preserve a system that still feeds many African cities. From Senegal to Chad, this documentary follows the call of a people whose knowledge may hold vital lessons for a world facing climate instability and economic uncertainty.
