Ilse Köhler-Rollefson gave a talk about her work to the Zonta Association

Ilse acted as a resource person for the project "Improving the livelihoods of
poor livestock-keepers in Africa through community-based management of
indigenous farm animal genetic resources", supported by the International
Livestock Research Institute and the German Ministry of Economic Coop-
eration and Development. She participated in the Second Annual Project

the communities.
