A Melka Guba villager holds the skull of one of his community’s dead cattle near the village around Negele, southern Oromia, Ethiopia, in this November 18, 2008 handout photo. Successive years of drought have had a devastating impact on lowland pastoralist communities who are completely dependent on their animals, causing them to lose a large portion of their livestock, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
