Caption

Precipitation patterns in East Africa are becoming more variable because of climate change. East Africa is particularly vulnerable to precipitation variability, not only because it has the most spectacular mass game migrations in the world, but also because rainfed agriculture and pastoralism provides a livelihood to much of the population.
