sources, however, are the domesticated animals. They supply food
and are the means for acquisition, through trade, of other goods,
such as clothing, knives, and domesticated grain; they provide many

and saddles, and urine and excreta for medicines; they are the
means of transporting both people and camp par (table 8-10). The
animals, thus, are the primary link between the Kel Tamasheq and
their environment, the West African Sahel, and their welfare largely
determines the welfare of the people.
