The Maasai in East Africa are one of the many indigenous peoples on our planet. | © Veterinarians without borders

Indigenous people comprise less than five per cent of the world population. Often these people live a life on the margins of society, because their traditional ways of life are considered outdated. Yet, indigenous peoples play a significant role in preserving world’s biodiversity in the ecosystems in which they have lived for centuries. In addition, each of these peoples contribute...

Hirtenvölker, wie die Maasai, pflegen ein sehr inniges Verhältnis zur Natur und ihren Tieren. | © Tierärzte ohne Grenzen

So leisten Hirten weltweit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Ernährungssicherheit selbst in den kargsten Gebieten der Erde. Mithilfe ihrer Tiere wandeln Pastoralisten auch die trockensten Pflanzenfasern in Fleisch und Milch um und ernähren damit Millionen von Menschen. Eines aber ist allen Hirten dieser Erde gemeinsam: ihre innige Verbundenheit mit Ihren Tieren.

Die pastorale Lebensform ist eine der ältesten, die wir kennen, und ist dennoch richtungsweisend für unsere Zukunft. | © Tierärzte ohne Grenzen

Nein? Das wäre jedoch durchaus naheliegend. Denn Hirtenvölker pflegen eine Lebensweise, die zeitgemäßer ist denn je. Der beliebte Slogan „Zurück zur Natur“ appelliert direkt an unsere Sehnsucht nach mehr Nachhaltigkeit und nach einer Welt, die auch in Zukunft lebenswert für uns ist. Pastoralisten leben diese Nachhaltigkeit seit Tausenden von Jahren. Ihre Lebensform ist eine der ältesten überhaupt...

Wenn Pastoralisten ihre Tiere auf Weiden führen, richten sie sich dabei nach der Natur. Denn nichts ist wichtiger, als die Artenvielfalt zu erhalten. | © Tierärzte ohne Grenzen

Pastoralisten pflegen einen nachhaltigen und umweltschonenden Lebensstil. Sie passen etwa die Dauer, die sie ihre Tiere an einer bestimmten Stelle grasen lassen, dem Zustand der Weide an. So wird das Ökosystem geschont und zugleich das Pflanzenwachstum angeregt. In Europa ist die Biodiversität überall dort am größten, wo Hirten mit ihren Tieren entlangziehen. Umgekehrt laugt die industrielle...
