International Year of Camelids Declared for 2024

environment · 2024-01-01

The United Nations has declared 2024 as the International Year of Camelids to highlight the importance of camelids such as llamas, alpacas, and camels in sustaining communities and ecosystems worldwide.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
