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.


Die Maasai Leiden, und niemand will ihre Schreien hören

"The Maasai are suffering, and no one hears their cries"
A radio segment was broadcast on the Deutschlandfunk (a international German radio station) on 18 June 2010. It describes how pastoralists in Africa are being driven from their traditional grazing lands so farming concerns can plant crops for biodiesel, or to create wildlife reserves that attract tourists.
The segment (in German) features Tanzanian activist and member of the LIFE Network Eliamani Lalteika and LPP's Ilse Köhler-Rollefson.
