pastoralism and climate change

Pastoralism is a way of life where people raise livestock like cattle, sheep, or goats, often moving with their animals across regions to find food and water. Climate change affects pastoral communities by altering weather patterns, leading to droughts, unpredictable rainfall, and reduced grazing land. These changes make it harder for herders to find sufficient forage for their animals, threaten their livelihoods, and can force communities to migrate or settle in new areas. Overall, climate change poses significant risks to pastoralism by disrupting traditional practices and increasing vulnerability to environmental and economic challenges.
