Many of the world’s most urgent Sustainable Development Goals can be achieved by cost-effective and simple solutions that benefit some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in society. The most striking example is the welfare of working equids (horses, donkeys and hybrids - mules and hinnies).
The vast majority of the world’s equid population remains working animals. An estimated 112 million working horses, donkeys and hybrids are essential to the livelihoods of some of the poorest communities in Africa, Asia and South/Central America. The traditional beast of burden, their socio-economic value is often taken for granted, with people taking advantage of their hardworking traits.
