A new publication from Girma Asteraye, Gina Pinchbeck, Theo Knight-Jones, Klara Saville, Wudu Temesgen, Alemayehu Hailemariam and Jonathan Rushton has recently been published. Titled ‘Population, distribution, biomass, and economic value of Equids in Ethiopia‘, is now available online here.

Abstract

Equids play a crucial role in the Ethiopian economy, transporting agricultural inputs and outputs in the dominant subsistence agricultural systems and the critical link for value chains throughout the country. However, these species are often neglected in policies and interventions, which reflects the data and information gaps, particularly the contribution of working equids to Ethiopia.
