Raika campaign covered by The Hindu newspaper

A major Indian daily has reported on the Raika delegation’s lobbying visit to Europe in favour of livestock keepers’ rights.

“A delegation of ‘Raikas’ (camel breeders) from Rajasthan who visited Europe recently to meet fellow pastoralists and share traditional wisdom on livestock keeping, have returned after successfully convincing the decision-makers at global forums of the need to preserve livestock bio-diversity and indigenous production systems”, reported The Hindu on 17 November 2007.

“Attending a series of high-level meetings in Europe, they advocated the rights of herding communities and sought recognition for their role in bio-diversity conservation,” said The Hindu.
