Pastoralism is a way of life where people raise and herd animals for food, clothing, and other resources. This practice often involves moving livestock to find fresh pastures and water, which is essential for the animals' health. Common animals raised in pastoralist communities include cattle, sheep, and goats. Many pastoralist societies are found in regions where farming is difficult due to harsh climates, such as deserts or mountainous areas. These communities have developed unique cultures and traditions based on their relationship with their animals and the land. Pastoralism plays a vital role in sustaining local economies and preserving biodiversity.
