pastoral lands
Pastoral lands are areas primarily used for the grazing of livestock such as cattle, sheep, or goats. These terrains typically include grasslands, savannas, or open plains that support animal husbandry rather than crop farming. They are vital for pastoral communities and contribute to food production and rural economies. The management of these lands involves practices that maintain their health and sustainability, preventing overgrazing and environmental degradation. While traditionally associated with nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles, pastoral lands also support settled agricultural activities, balancing ecological health with economic needs.
