🐄 Sahel Fulani Herders

Sahel Fulani Herders

Sahel Fulani (millions) are semi-nomadic cattle herders across Africa's Sahel belt facing extreme desertification, recurring droughts, violent conflicts over shrinking grazing lands, and climate change. They endure 45°C heat, water scarcity, expanding Sahara Desert, farmer-herder conflicts, and political instability. Traditional long-distance cattle migrations, Islamic scholarship, and survival on the frontline of the world's most rapid desertification characterize their increasingly precarious existence as the Sahara advances southward.
