The donkey

The donkey has been one of the most valuable animals to humans since ancient times. Domesticated more than 5,000 years ago, this noble animal has accompanied civilisations in their daily tasks, especially in agricultural and transport work.
Its strength, endurance and ability to adapt to difficult terrain made it an indispensable ally in this rugged region. Despite its modest size, it can carry considerable weights and travel long distances without resting, which made it ideal for transporting water, firewood, food and goods.
