In Northern Kenya, herders are replacing cattle with camels due to a devastating four-decade drought. Camels offer a sustainable solution, providing milk and resilience in a region highly vulnerable to climate change.

• Over 5,000 Somali camels have been distributed since 2015, including 1,000 in the last year, through a county program.
• Chapan Lolpusike, a semi-nomadic Samburu herder, switched to raising camels after losing all his cows and oxen to the drought.
• Camels can go over a week without water and produce up to six times more milk than cattle, significantly improving nutrition in drought-affected pastoralists.
