A changing climate can have devastating impacts on the health of animals. It can also affect disease patterns, making outbreaks harder to control. Livelihoods that depend on animals are becoming less secure as a result. Learn more about Food and Agriculture Organization's work: bit.ly/48ZLlMt

Livestock is both a contributor to & a victim of climate change. The good news is that sustainable practices can help address these challenges. If you're looking to explain this to kids or students, the Food and Agriculture Organization activity book makes it simple and engaging. 👉 doi.org/10.4060/cd2619…

🌱 From soil to plate, microbiomes are key to healthier people, animals & the planet. At the World Microbiome Partnership Summit 2025, Food and Agriculture Organization highlighted how innovations like probiotics & biofertilizers reduce antimicrobial use & strengthen sustainable agrifood systems. #OneHealth

Pastoralism and forests are interdependent. In some areas, riparian forests (those close to a body of water) are a significant grazing resource for livestock during dry seasons. In exchange, pastoralism helps maintain and renew these lands. Tap ❤️ if you agree.

For the longest time, dromedary camels were the only means of transport in the Sahel region. Today, the camel sector is transforming in countries like Mauritania, where camels are more than just livestock - they are emblems! #YearOfCamelids 🐪👇 bit.ly/44trXrp
