Amadou Altine Ndiaye stands for a portrait in the village of Yawara Dieri, in the Matam region of Senegal, Saturday, April 15, 2023. The 48 year-old herder, who had cattle and sheep present at his birth, says that he was born into pastoralism, and since then he has known only that. For Ndiaye, who began tending to his family's flock when he was just 8 years old, his profession is also an inherited tradition. "It's a source of pride. ... We Fulanis would be lost if we had to change our method of pastoralism because those who haven't studied couldn't adapt to modern methods," he says. "The best thing is to continue with our know-how."
