These animals are essential for food security and nutrition as they are the main source of protein for indigenous communities in different regions of the world. They also provide fibre, organic fertiliser, draught power and transport and are indispensable for nomadic pastoralist livelihoods. This recognises the\u00a0key role of these animals\u00a0<\/strong>climate change impacts, in particular in arid and semi-arid lands, in addition to the promotion and support of\u00a0products and services\u00a0<\/strong>they provide (of vital importance to the livelihoods of the communities that depend on them).<\/p>\n

To mark the occasion, the\u00a0University of Seville<\/a><\/strong><\/b><\/em><\/i>\u00a0<\/strong>together with the company\u00a0African Airs\u00a0<\/strong>are organising the \"A day among camelids<\/a><\/strong><\/b><\/em><\/i>\".
