AP PHOTOS: The faces of pastoralists in Senegal, where connection to animals is key

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:35:33 GMT

FETE FORROU, Senegal (AP) — The Fulani people — also known as the Peuhl — are believed to be the largest seminomadic ethnic group in the world, with communities stretching from Senegal to the Central African Republic.While some men in this Muslim ethnic group have attended Quranic school, most prepare for their future by learning the ways of animal herding alongside their elders.“It’s a profession, but it’s also an inherited tradition,” says Amadou Altine Ndiaye, 48, who began tending to his family’s flock when he was 8. “It’s a source of pride.”Now he’s working alongside his son-in-law, Moussa Ifra Ba. “I love pastoralism to the core,” the 28-year-old says.Ba has grown especially attached to the family’s flock of sheep: “It’s a real friendship between you, and the male animals cry when they move away from you.”“If you give a ram a name, after a month it remembers that name and as soon as you call it, it will come and join you.”___EDITORS’ NOTE — This story is part of The Prot...

AP PHOTOS: Pastoralists in Senegal raise livestock much as their ancestors did centuries ago

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:35:33 GMT

ANNDIARE, Senegal (AP) — The planet is changing, but pastoralists here in the Sahel region of Africa are in many ways still raising livestock the way their ancestors did centuries ago.And countries like Senegal depend upon their success to feed their growing populations: The United Nations estimates that 65% of meat and 70% of milk sold at local markets in the region come from pastoralists.As the Sahara Desert encroaches ever southward, the amount of arable land for animals to graze decreases each year. That’s putting extra pressure on pastoralist herders. Among them is Amadou Altine Ndiaye, who earlier this year made a 170-kilometer (106-mile) trek in search of more verdant land for animals.“One of the main difficulties related to pastoralism is the lack of grazing,” Ndiaye said. “There would be no problem if there is grazing and water, but it is during this dry season that it is most difficult.”With decreasing rainfall and deforestation in the region, Ndiaye said the terrain is no...

Stock market today: Wall Street drifts as hopes for a just-right economy offset profit worries

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:35:33 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — More signals of a slowing economy are raising Wall Street’s hopes for a “Goldilocks” outcome that’s just right for markets. That has stocks holding onto most of their strong gains for November so far, despite some unnerving profit forecasts from Walmart and Cisco Systems.The S&P 500 was edging up by 0.1% in morning trading and remains comfortably on its way to a third straight winning week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 50 points, or 0.1%, as of 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was virtually unchanged.Stocks have leaped this week, putting November on track to be their best in a year, on hopes that inflation is cooling enough to convince the Federal Reserve to halt its hikes to interest rates following its fusillade since last year. That’s in turn pushed expectations up for when the Fed could begin cutting rates, which can act like steroids for financial markets, in the summer.Several more reports on Thursday indicated the economy is s...

AP PHOTOS: The Brazilian Amazon’s vast array of people and cultures

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:35:33 GMT

Renowned for its stunning biodiversity, the Amazon rainforest region is also home to a vast array of people and cultures.“People usually think that the environment doesn’t contain and include people, but it does,” said soil scientist Judson Ferreira Valentim, who lives in Brazil’s Acre state. “There are many different Amazonias and many different Amazonians.”From small villages of thatched homes to the skyline of Belém rising above mist on the river – a view sometimes called “Manhattan of the Amazon” – Brazil’s slice of the Amazon is home to 28 million people.Many communities are linked by water. Along the Tocantins River, a tributary of the Amazon, yellow school-boats pick up children from wooden homes on stilts, and fisherman throw scraps of the day’s catch to river dolphins that frequent the docks. Families linger beside river beaches at sunset, the water a relief from the heat of the day.Other communities are linked by rural roads, which often wash out during heavy rains, or new...
