KACRAN Calls to Protect Cattle Routes and Revive

KACRAN (the Kachin Agricultural Cooperative and Rural Development Association) is a community‑based organization in Myanmar’s Kachin State that advocates for the livelihood of local herders. In recent statements it has urged the government and security forces to safeguard traditional cattle‑driving routes, which have been disrupted by armed conflict and road blockages, and to support programs that revive the cattle trade and related pasture management. The group stresses that protecting these routes is essential for food security, income generation, and the cultural heritage of Kachin pastoral communities. Views Nigeria
