NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 16: These stray dogs who befriended soldiers in war-torn Afghanistan have been flown thousands of miles to start a new life. The pooches were reunited with the servicemen who they bonded with while on duty. Animal-loving US soldiers regularly make best friends with loyal Afghan dogs, who are invaluable companions on the front line and provide relief after days of brave and exhausting fire fights. British charity NOWZAD Dogs, which was started by former British Royal Marine Pen Farthing, who served in Afghanistan, masterminded the huge operation to relocate the animals. American Airlines flew the dogs from the Middle East to JFK Airport, New York, where emotional reunions took place. The soldiers travelled from their home towns across America to greet the dogs off the plane before taking them home. The charity American Dog Rescue and skincare firm PRAI Beauty, which has donated over £30000 towards helping NOWZAD Dogs transport strays, were also part of the operation.

Almost 80% of the Afghan population live in rural areas and earn their livelihoods from farming activities. Since agriculture is one of the key area in Afghanistan's economy the EU has focused a great part of its assistance on rural development; for example in the area of horticulture and animal health. The EU's projects in Laghman, Nooristan and Kunar provinces aim updating the existing veterinary systems. They have been hiring and training numerous veterinary doctors and para-veterinary staff. Mr Alain De Bures of MADERA explains how they are improving the quality of livestock.

Female Engagement Teams are a new addition to the British Battlegroups across Helmand. The specialist servicewomen are now embedded in all the main locations and patrol out on the ground alongside their male colleagues. Their role is to engage with Afghan women and to help them they are learning animal husbandry techniques, taught by Veterinary Officer Captain Laura Holmes. Lessons focus on caring for the most common animals found in Helmand such as goats, chickens and cows. They also focus on the kind of problems to look out for. The servicewomen hope that through the animals they can tap into one half of the population which is all too often ignored.

A large and healthy population of this rare species has come to light in the mountainous region of the Wakhan Corridor. The discovery was made by a team of scientists who laid camera traps. The world's most elusive big cat, the snow leopard, has been found flourishing in a remote mountainous region of Afghanistan. Thanks to the dedicated work of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) this rare species was discovered in the Wakhan Corridor between Tajikistan and Pakistan. According to Joe Walston, Executive Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Asia Program, this was an unexpected discovery. [Joe Walston, Executive Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Asia Program]: "We have a traditional image of modern day Afghanistan, which is one that is full of conflict and to some extent that is true. But there are parts of Afghanistan like the Wakhan Corridor, which really represent a whole different way of being able to see not only what it is like in the Wakhan, but what it was like in other parts of Afghanistan. Local communities with a strong sense of identity living and depending on their environment." A team of Afghan nationals worked alongside foreign wildlife experts representing the WCS placing camera traps around local areas. Sixteen of these produced the first ...

The story begins at an army base in Kabul, Afghanistan when a hungry, homeless dog wanders into camp. Recognizing mutual and unspoken need, she and the soldiers bond quickly. The soldiers, learning of an impending order to euthanize all camp dogs, secreted Maxine to an Afghan dog shelter. Afghan volunteers raised $500 and a small group of undercover dog rescuers began a concerted effort to ship Maxine to the America where a stateside military family awaited her. Arriving in the US, Maxine grappled with culture shock. She had never been leashed, exposed to other pets or confined for any length of time. The "good life" terrified her. She became defensive and wary. Enter, Sarah. Instantly bridging the gap between Maxine and her new family, Sarah puts words to Maxine's fears and perceptions. Working in real-time, Sarah shows the family how to interact with and acclimate this combat-fatigued dog.

Afghanistan is an agrarian nation, and more than 80 percent of its citizens live in rural areas and depend on livestock (sheep, goats, cattle, horses, donkeys, camels, and chickens) for food and income. Livestock health is essential for the survival of many Afghans but a lack of veterinary care leads to frequent early animal deaths and loss of revenues. To provide affordable, accessible veterinary care, USAID established a network of veterinary field units (VFUs) -- private businesses that provide preventive animal health and treatment services to rural communities. Veterinary Field Units are established as part of USAID's Accelerating Sustainable Agriculture Program (ASAP), in partnership with the Dutch Committee for Afghanistan, Partners in Revitalization and Building, and the Afghanistan Veterinary Association. The VFUs are staffed by veterinarians, veterinary assistants, and paravets (paravets are the equivalent of community health workers but for animals) who use a community-based approach to provide advice, cure diseases, and administer reliable and quality vaccines and medicines to livestock on a fee-for-service basis. The notion that Afghan farmers can't afford to pay for veterinary services is being replaced by the belief that Afghan farmers can't afford not to pay for veterinary services.

A British Army vet from Cheltenham has begun a six-month tour of Afghanistan, treating animals across Helmand Province. Captain Laura Holmes (29) is a member of the Veterinary Engagement Team, based in Lashkar Gah. She travels all around Helmand, running veterinary clinics for Afghan farmers. "Local farmers bring in their sheep, goats and cattle for a health check. We give the animals some medicine, and deal with any ailments they might have," she said. "Each farmer has a few animals which he uses to feed his family, so their animals are fundamental to their lives." "We get to interact with the farmers too," she added. "Whether we're talking about animals or football teams, we can have some face-time with them." Laura also runs classes for the farmers, showing them how to look after their animals themselves. "I teach them a bit of veterinary medicine and modern animal husbandry," she said. "It's absolutely fantastic to see the difference that it makes to their lives."
