00:00Bark powder, leaves, animal hide and skilled craftsmanship.
00:06That's what it takes to make a traditional Tuareg water canteen known as a leather waterskin.
00:13Containers made from animal hide like these have been crafted on many continents for centuries,
00:18whether in Europe, Asia or Africa.
00:22They're ideal for people who are on the move.
00:27Among Mali's nomadic Tuareg people, the tradition has endured.
00:32Baguya Agmoussa learned the craft from his uncle, who in turn learned it from his father.
00:37Why?
00:39What's the first time?

00:58Baguya Agmoussa lives with his family in Segu.
01:01Trained as a marketing specialist, he works in the tourism sector,
01:04but on the side he also makes leather waterskins.
01:08Today, only around 20 artisans in Mali know how to craft them.
01:13Like Moussa's uncle, they make them to order.
01:17Baguya Agmoussa first collects leaves from an acacia tree.
01:21These are then soaked in water with a goat hide.
01:24After a trempage of 20 days, we remove it and put the powder of this tree.
01:35Roughly a month later, the container is ready to use.
01:38Fresh water can be stored in it for several days.
01:41An advantage that Baguya Agmoussa emphasizes at Segu's weekly market.
01:46A leather waterskin costs the equivalent of around 30 to 38 euros,
01:51a considerable sum for many people in Mali.
01:53But Moussa says the investment is worth it.
02:06A Touareg tradition that offers a sustainable alternative
02:10to plastic drinking containers.
