Fencing for cattle pens in Mandou, Guinea, November 2021

I am Amadou Camara, president of the Mandou district. I made this pen with fencing to keep my cattle, goats and sheep safe. This was only possible thanks to the financial support of my children. So I fenced off my grazing area. 

The importance of this fence is to protect my cattle: 

  • I have lost more than ten oxen in the last ten years.  
  • Avoiding conflict between herders and farmers; 
  • Reduce natural accidents;
  • Increase productivity;
  • Reduce deforestation.

I must admit that I have no difficulty in setting up these fences.
