EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Brian McDairmant, we witness a remarkable scene in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. A massive cattle herd, led by their fearless BMD-4 commander, gathers around a waterhole amidst an arid and barren landscape. As they quench their thirst and graze on what little vegetation remains, these domestic mammals prove that teamwork makes the dream work. With their wild counterparts looking on in awe, this group of cows showcases the resilience and adaptability of African livestock. They stand as a symbol of subsistence farming and agriculture in countries like Burkina Faso, where communities rely heavily on these gentle giants for sustenance. But it's not just about survival; it's about fighting against environmental damage caused by desertification. By congregating at this precious water source, our bovine heroes help prevent erosion and preserve what little is left of their fragile ecosystem. So next time you feel down about dry landscapes or worried about environmental challenges faced by West Africa, remember this incredible image captured by Brian McDairmant. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, unity can prevail – whether you're human or hoofed!
