pastoral rights

Pastoral rights refer to the legal authority or entitlement of individuals or communities, often pastoralists, to access, use, and manage land and resources for grazing livestock. These rights typically arise from historical use, customary practices, or legal recognition, allowing pastoralists to move freely across certain areas to sustain their livelihoods. They are important for balancing traditional practices with land conservation and development goals, and often require legal clarity to prevent conflicts over land use.
