The increase in livestock prices in Buur Hakaba, South-West State of Somalia, is creating economic challenges for traders and residents alike.
According to reports from various stakeholders in the region, climate change is a key factor driving this surge.
Prolonged droughts, unpredictable rainfall, and declining pasture availability have reduced livestock supply, disrupting the local economy.
This situation underscores the urgent need for sustainable interventions, such as climate-resilient grazing practices, improved water management, and support for affected communities to mitigate the impact of these environmental changes.
