Pastoralism is a form of animal husbandry where livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and camels are raised in natural pastures. This traditional lifestyle is often characterized by transhumance, the seasonal movement of livestock and their herders between fixed summer and winter pastures. Pastoralists rely on grazing lands, which can be either natural or semi-natural, to sustain their animals. The success of pastoralism is heavily dependent on access to water sources and adequate forage.
The practice is found across diverse environments, from the arid steppes of Central Asia to the savannas
In many regions, pastoralism plays a crucial role in land management, as grazing can help maintain biodiversity
