League for Pastoral Peoples and Endogenous Livestock Development

This website is dedicated to the pastoralists of the world and their itinerant spirit.

The League for Pastoral Peoples and Endogenous Livestock Development is an advocacy and support group for pastoralists who depend on common property resources. We work and conduct research with pastoral communities, primarily in India.  This website documents the challenges faced by pastoralists and facilitates networking among similar agencies.
