Tibetan herders

Tibetan herders are nomadic or semi-nomadic pastoralists from the Tibetan Plateau who primarily raise yaks, sheep, and goats. They move their herds seasonally across high-altitude grasslands, using traditional knowledge to sustain their animals amid harsh climatic conditions. Their livelihood is deeply connected to the land and livestock, providing dairy, meat, wool, and other products. Tibetan herders also maintain cultural traditions, spiritual practices, and a deep respect for the environment, playing a vital role in preserving the ecological balance of the region despite modernization pressures.
