Transhumance is a practice that involves moving livestock with the seasons so they can find grass and water. Herders follow well-known routes, used for generations, between complementary areas: mountains and valleys, plains and wetlands, savannas and more humid regions. Even today, in many parts of the world, transhumance remains an effective response to climate variability and a cornerstone of sustainable pastoral livestock systems. <\/p>\n
