Report #1 December 2021
Project: Help llama farmers access water to improve pasture
Activity: Implementation of water collection systems to irrigate grasslands during dry season to improve llama nutrition.
Progress: Community meetings were held at two high-Andean communities with members of the Guild of Llama Breeders to go over the project details and discuss the required chores to implement the irrigation system.
Each Guild identified a strategic water source and agreed on the following steps:
Once those tasks are achieved during the following weeks, the materials will be purchased and the date for installation will be set.
Thank you!
Thanks to all our donors, we continue to work on our long-term goals to improve the livelihood of high-Andean families and protect our fragile mountain ecosystems by promoting the use of llamas as a sustainable, eco-friendly pack alternative. The implementation of systems that facilitate access to water allow llama farmers to overcome the challenges presented by Climate Change effects in their communities.
We will continue to update our progress on our next report. If you have not yet registered, please make sure to sign up for our newsletter to receive news on the Llama Pack Project here: https://mailchi.mp/c09d3cf9c0e0/llamapackproject
