(260125) -- SAO DOMINGOS, Jan. 25, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Cipriano Moniz, 86, is ready to milk a cow in Sao Domingos municipality on Santiago Island, Cape Verde, Jan. 24, 2026. In rural Cape Verde, a family struggles to keep traditional livestock farming alive while sustaining its own livelihood.

The family raises goats, pigs and poultry at its ranch, using largely traditional methods, with 86-year-old patriarch Cipriano Moniz passing down the know-how to his son Zeze Moniz and grandson Janilton Moniz.

The three generations, working side by side, carry on with the family's long-standing practice of animal husbandry on this eastern African Island. (Photo by Elton Monteiro/Xinhua)
