Transhumance is the moving of livestock from one grazing ground to another. This usually coincides with the changing of the seasons.
Transhumance tribes have a fixed pattern of movement while nomadic tribes have not.

Transhumance offers several advantages, including the efficient use of natural resources by allowing livestock to graze in different areas seasonally, which helps prevent overgrazing and supports ecosystem sustainability. It promotes biodiversity by maintaining varied grazing patterns in different habitats. Additionally, transhumance can enhance the resilience of pastoral communities by diversifying their livelihoods and strengthening their cultural identity through traditional practices. Finally, it can improve soil quality and contribute to climate adaptation by promoting practices that help mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Transhumance refers to the seasonal movement of livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures. Examples include the migration of sheep herders in the Alps who move their flocks to higher elevations during the summer for grazing, and the movement of pastoralists in Mongolia who migrate with their livestock to find better grazing grounds as seasons change. Another example is the movement of cattle herders in the Sahel region of Africa, who travel between the grasslands and dry areas to optimize grazing resources throughout the year.
Transhumance, the seasonal movement of livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures, offers several advantages, such as optimized grazing, improved animal health, and enhanced biodiversity in ecosystems. It allows herders to utilize different landscapes effectively and can lead to sustainable land management. However, disadvantages include potential conflicts over land use, vulnerability to climate change and environmental degradation, and the challenge of maintaining traditional practices in the face of modernization and economic pressures. Additionally, transhumant communities may face social marginalization and loss of cultural identity.
