Impacts on drought on livestock numbers in selected African countries

Map of 'Impacts%20on%20drought%20on%20livestock%20numbers%20in%20selected%20African%20countries'

Impacts on drought on livestock numbers in selected African countries. Water scarcity in terms of drought or depleted groundwater could therefore have great impacts on livestock and rangelands. These interactions are also complex. While drought can directly threaten livestock, other factors that influence water availability for livestock are seasonal droughts and socio-economic changes, such as permanent settlement and occupation of seasonal pastures by people other than pastoralists, availability and quality of rangelands, livestock numbers and management approaches.
