Evaluate the article

 * 1) The lead section explains where Talara is location very clearly. I think the article could include a lot more content, however on the history of the region. The article does appear neutral but is very short and could be improved with more information.
 * 2) The lead section does is clear and concise and includes a good introduction to the topic. The article provides some history and examples of sustainable livelihood models but it could also provide more info and example of specific places where sustainable livelihood practices have been implemented. The article also appears to be neutral and not too opinionated.
