African pastoralists

African pastoralists are communities that primarily rely on herding livestock—such as cattle, goats, and sheep—for their livelihood. They traditionally move their animals across different areas in response to seasonal grazing patterns, seeking fresh pasture and water. This nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle helps maintain sustainable use of natural resources and supports cultural practices and social bonds. Pastoralists play a vital role in regional ecosystems, economy, and culture, often adapting to challenges like climate change, land use conflicts, and modernization while preserving their herding traditions.
