Title:
Climate Conversations - Combining Traditional Knowledge and Climate Science in Chad

Description:
Herders from the Fulani-Mbororo peoples in Chad have used traditional knowledge of their ecosystem to manage grazing and to develop strategies to cope with seasonal weather patterns and manage their meager resources. Now the reliability of their prediction is undermined by increasingly unpredictable weather and climate conditions, and their livelihoods and future as a culture are under threat. In a bid to adapt to the changing conditions and maintain their customary way of life, the Mbororo peoples are coming together with other pastoralists, meteorologists and African policy makers.
