pastoral nomadism

Pastoral nomadism is a traditional way of life where people travel within specific regions to herd and graze animals like sheep, goats, cattle, or camels. These communities move regularly to find fresh pastures and water, depending on seasonal changes and climate. This lifestyle is adapted to arid, semi-arid, or mountainous environments where farming is difficult. It allows for sustainable resource use and mobility, enabling herders to avoid overgrazing and maintain their livelihood. While increasingly rare, pastoral nomadism remains vital for cultural identity and economic survival in certain parts of the world.
