The pastoral human population is growing at about 2.5% per year
A certain minimum number of livestock are needed to support these humans as pastoralists, even at very low levels of welfare.
The maximum total pastoral herd size is limited by the amount of livestock feed available. Where numbers temporarily exceed this limit they soon die back.

However, aerial surveys by the Department for Resource Surveys and Remote Sensing (DRSRS) show that Mara lost 60% of it’s resident wildlife in the last 25 years.

The semi-arid Kitengela plains south of Nairobi National Park (NNP) have been the longtime
home of the Kaputiei Maasai community. Together with NNP these plains form the

Vaccination services for people and livestock often fail to achieve sufficient coverages in Africa's remote rural settings because of financial, logistic, and service delivery constraints. In Chad from 2000 through 2005, we demonstrated the feasibility of combining vaccination programs for nomadic pastoralists and their livestock.

Joint delivery of human and animal health services is adapted to and highly valued by hard-to-reach pastoralists.

The Horn of Africa is one of the most conflict-prone areas of the world. It is also home to about 20 million pastoralists, which keep moving with their livestock in search for grazing land and water points. Pastoral conflicts are becoming more and more serious. CEWARN - a regional mechanism for preventing conflicts - tries to close the gap between 'early warning' and 'early response'.
