pastoralist communities

Pastoralist communities are groups that primarily rely on the herding and raising of livestock—such as cattle, sheep, or goats—for their livelihood. They often move seasonally or across regions to find grazing land and water for their animals. These communities are typically closely connected to their environment and have rich cultural traditions centered around animal husbandry. Pastoralists play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance through their mobility and traditional practices, and they often face challenges like climate change, land disputes, and modernization pressures.
