Pastoralists in East Africa are engaging in conservation and tourism to supplement their livestock-based livelihoods and spread risk.  This working paper uses a mixed set of qualitative and quantitative data to explore how involvement in conservation and tourism may be enhancing, or restricting, climate-resilient pastoral livelihoods.

The research examines some of the livelihood trade-offs pastoralists must make when participating in conservancies, and the mechanisms through which they manage their livestock herds to cope with shrinking ranges. The results can help to inform conservation and tourism investments to better serve as livelihood opportunities that maintain, and enhance, pastoral resilience.

The aim of this paper is to present a three-stage model that specifies the possible mechanisms for the domestication of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe cacsilensis Lönnberg, 1913), which gave origin to the llama (Lama glama Linnaeus, 1758). A more comprehensive analytical framework is proposed, beyond the wild-domestic dichotomy. The model takes into account the interaction of two components: animal and human behaviors. Simultaneously, we analyse the types of selection acting in the different stages of the domestication process and the archaeological evidence available.
