Pastoralists are people who primarily raise and herd livestock for their livelihood. They often move their animals to find fresh pastures and water, a practice known as nomadic herding. Common livestock raised by pastoralists include cattle, sheep, goats, and camels. This lifestyle is typically found in regions where farming is difficult due to climate or terrain.
Pastoralism is an ancient way of life that has adapted over time to various environments, from the Mongolian steppes to the East African savannas. Pastoralists play a crucial role in their ecosystems and often have deep knowledge of animal husbandry and land management.
