HYDERABAD: The livestock population in the coastal belt of Badin district is on the decline because of frequent natural disasters, local farmers said on Thursday.
Badin, once considered prosperous in terms of producing a variety of food and cash crops, has now been declared a disaster-prone area, as it is experiencing floods, cyclones, and droughts.
These views were expressed at a workshop for community livestock extension workers (CLEW), organised by the Laar Humanitarian Development Programme (LHDP) at the Sindh Agriculture University.
The workshop aimed at producing trained workers to help farmers in difficult times and in saving their animals.
