Team member Zarah Cleve just spent two weeks in Rwanda. One important stop on her trip was the King's Palace in Nyanza, where a small herd of Inyambo cattle, descended from the king's herd, can be found. These cows are known for their horns and played an important role in royal ceremonies.

A huge thank you to the whole team who realised this spring school!
