Green energy is indeed a problematic new stress to mobile people! Last week at the South Asian Pastoral Alliance meet, I did mention how the quick fix solutions of climate change with wind mills etc are resulting in further #exclusion of #Pastoralists! @DanaDeclaration

Moken people are known as the "Sea Nomads'" of #Thailand. But they are losing access to their traditional waters. In a new Dana+20 blog post, Janepicha Cheva-Isarakul & Christoph Sperfeldt explain why. #UNFPII

What is #resilience in pastoral settings? @HusseinTwario and @twahirah3 explore the question in a workshop in #Marsabit #Kenya

'International development' folks: if you're interested in how development policy can work with pastoralists, and learn from them, join these two events - on 6 and 8 March. They will share a wealth of learning from @ILRI and the @PASTRES_erc project.

ALT A couple wearing traditional Mexican sombreros stand on a hilltop and look out over a mountainous landscape. The couple have their backs turned to the camera. A sheepdog sits beside them. To their left, there is a tall cactus, and there are a few bushes around them.
ALT A wooden shack with a tin roof, in a small clearing surrounded by trees with overhanging branches. It is night time, and the only light comes from some lamps hanging outside from the roof of the shack, illuminating the scene and casting deep shadows. You can see a small table through the open door of the shack.
ALT A Mexican woman in her forties sits on the ground surrounded by goats on a hillside. She is holding a white cloth carrier bag in front of her. She is wearing a straw sunhat and her face is shaded despite the bright sunshine. She wears a bright pink t-shirt over a long-sleeved teal top, and blue jeans.

In September 2022, twenty delegates from nomadic communities came together in Wadi Dana for a workshop titled “Dana+20: Mobile Indigenous Peoples, Conservation, Sustainable Development, and Climate Change Two Decades after the Dana Declaration.” danadeclaration.org/post/dan…
After three days of discussion and reflection on common challenges and concerns, delegates drafted and approved the Dana+20 Manifesto, presenting a shared vision for the future of Mobile Peoples in the 21st Century. danadeclaration.org/dana-20-…
