Rufino Quico remembers when his pastures turned green each November as spring rains arrived on the high Andean plain where his herd of 380 alpacas grazes.
Rodolfo Marquina, head of Descosur, a nonprofit that works on economic development in southern Peru, said the climate changes “have impacts for all aspects of alpaca rearing.” “Climate change is affecting the region’s hydrological potential,” he said. “This has an impact on alpacas and the people and communities that depend on them for their livelihoods.”Peru is home to about four million alpacas, more than 70 percent of the world’s alpaca population, according to the INIA. Neighboring Bolivia has the second largest population, which is less than 10 percent of the total. Australia, where alpacas were introduced in 1980, ranks third.
The fleece is used principally in garments, but also in blankets and household items. Peru earned approximately $121 million from alpaca exports in the first seven months of 2021, on par with exports from pre-pandemic 2019; the pandemic crashed the alpaca fleece industry in 2020. Exports go principally to China, Italy, and the United States.
Could I pay all costs for (2 alpacas) to bring here, as I will take extremely good care of them, here in the southern part of the US? male and female requested, I shall be happy to cover all expenses !! Don Hetzler 304 621 5856 phone nehiusacomcast or donaldhetzler5gmail.com
oh, such a bad news
Such a sad photo 💔 GlobalWarming ClimateChange
This photo is beyond stunning. Fascinating read as well. I hadn't considered that climate change, if it doesn't lead to extinction, could affect the alpaca's wool, thereby creating further economic hardship.

Donde están los millonarios del planeta? Es urgente crear un plan para frenar todo el desastre que como humanos hemos creado,los del poder económico deben ayudar es una opción todos tenemos el deber, pero sin dinero es poco lo que se puede hacer👍👍👍
It's complicated, no? As rumniants, alpacas emit significant quantities of GHG in the form of methane. As well, the industry is not known for having high animal welfare standards. All for a luxury product?
Epic
fun fact, one of alpaca's chinese name '草尼馬" is similar to a chinese swearword.
