Indigenous people in a remote mountain town in the Andes in Peru are being helped to boost their incomes by preserving a valuable but threatened breed of alpaca.

SGP-GEF-UNDP Peru/Enrique Castro-Mendívil | A young Nuñoan woman, part of the Quechua indigenous peoples in Peru, spinning yarn following training in traditional handicraft techniques.
