Description
They have fed millions for centuries. Now, their way of life is vanishing.In the remote Karamoja region of northeastern Uganda, the Karamajong people have herded cattle across the savannah for generations — a nomadic tradition older than recorded history. But today, they face an impossible convergence of threats: devastating livestock epidemics, worsening droughts driven by climate change, political neglect, and the collapse of ancient grazing routes.Follow Modor, Paul, and Lucia as they fight to keep their herds alive, their communities together, and their culture intact. From emergency livestock markets to hard-won peace treaties with rival tribes — this is a story of extraordinary resilience at the edge of survival.Yet the Karamajong may hold answers the modern world urgently needs. Their cattle graze land no farm could cultivate. Their breeds survive heat and drought that would kill any imported animal. In a world racing toward industrial agriculture, these so-called "backwards" herders are quietly modeling the ecological future.This is their story — and it demands to be heard.
