Click the PDF below to download the Sustainability Plan for the Alpaca Recuperation Project, a long-term community project that grew out of my doctoral research in collaboration with Mosqoy and the Illariy Ch'aska Weaving Cooperative. The goals of the project are to recuperate the community's traditional knowledge of alpaca-rearing, including some of the 22 natural colours of alpaca fibre, and to create an economically viable model to sell alpaca products.
