INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF CAMELIDS (2024)

This very short introductory film for the International Year of Camelids (IYC) shows different types of
camelids kept in various environments and cultures. It explains how camelids contribute to food security,
nutrition, local livelihoods and the wider economy while having a strong cultural and social significance for
communities in the Andean highlands and in the drylands of Africa and Asia. The IYC seeks to raise
awareness of the role of camelids in building resilience to climate change.
