Cuur: A Natural Haven for Pastoral Prosperity
The Cuur region is a natural sanctuary ideal for livestock, especially goats, which play a vital role in the local economy and the daily life of the community. The image above beautifully captures hundreds of goats peacefully grazing in the lush woodlands of Cuur—a clear symbol of the region’s abundance and opportunity.
Pastoralists in Cuur are the backbone of the local economy. They rely deeply on goat herding, using it for food, income, and as a key part of Somali culture and heritage. The goats of Cuur are renowned for their resilience, health, and high-quality meat and milk.
The green, wooded environment of Cuur offers nutritious natural pasture for the animals. This makes Cuur an ideal place for raising and nurturing livestock, with its peaceful atmosphere and environmentally rich setting.
The Cuur Development Project also aims to improve the livelihoods of pastoralists by providing supportive services such as water reservoirs, veterinary care, and modern markets for selling livestock and their products.
Cuur represents the new future of pastoralism—prosperity, opportunity, and development grounded in environment and tradition.
