这项研究记录了尼日尔西南部关于牛、绵羊和山羊品种的土著知识，包括牧民和农牧民。我们的研究包括绵羊和山羊，因为自1970年代和1980年代的干旱以来，小型反刍动物在萨赫勒畜牧业生产系统中的重要性日益增加。这项研究是在撒哈拉以南非洲沙漠边缘遏制土地退化和保护生物多样性的沙漠边缘方案项目下进行的，该项目部分由全球环境基金资助。
This study documents indigenous knowledge of breeds of cattle, sheep and goats in southwestern Niger, and includes both pastoralists and agropastoralists. Our study included sheep and goats in view of the increasing importance of small ruminants in livestock production systems in the Sahel since the drought of the 1970s and 1980s. This study was carried out under the Desert Margins Program (DMP) project on arresting land degradation and the conservation of biodiversity in desert margins of sub-Saharan Africa, partly funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
