Pastoralists' life

Pastoralists' life

Photo by Giulio D'Ercole

After a few days of travel, I arrive in a village of the Kara tribe, living on the banks of the Omo River. Every morning they bring their sheep to drink there, going down a steep slope. This habit, which has survived for centuries, is now endangered by three factors brought about by the so-called progress: desertification, mass tourism, changes due to the construction of huge dams on the Omo river
