League for Pastoral Peoples and Endogenous Livestock Development,
Annual Report 2006 9
Livestock Keepers' Rights booklets
LPP's booklets on Livestock Keepers' Rights: Conserving breeds, support-
ing livelihoods (downloadable from
www.pastoralpeoples.org
) have proved
so popular that it was necessary to print another 1500 copies. The booklets
were distributed during the workshops and meetings listed above, as well
as at an workshop on avian flu in Berlin on 1820 October in Berlin, and a
symposium on innovations in Uganda in November. LPP staff attended
both these events.
Supported by the Hivos-Oxfam Novib Biodiversity Fund, the Livestock
Keepers' Rights booklet has been translated into the Karamojong language
as Ngapedorosyo nguna a ngikeyokok a ngibaren: Ekipitune ngibaren, ka
akitogogong eyare angitunga.
