“…smallholders, which animals are used, and the ups and downs of using animal traction. Since Starkey et al (1995) book, there has not been national work on animal traction in South Africa.

“…Small populations are reported in islands in the Caribbean Sea, Pacific Ocean, and Indian Ocean, including St Johns, Bonaire, Hawaii, Inagua, Turks and Caicos, Antigua, Saint Kitts, and Nevis (The Donkey Sanctuary, unpublished data), most of which are likely to exist in low densities (i.e., <200 individuals; C. L. Clancy, The Donkey Sanctuary, unpublished data). In Europe, the mechanisation of transport and farming by the mid‐twentieth century led to a decline in donkey populations (Starkey and Starkey 2000).
