Nomadic Herders

This project will work with nomads, local partners and national authorities to investigate the impact of land use change and climate change on nomads and further assess pastoral adaptation options and opportunities. It will promote dialogue between stakeholders, help build a partnership between reindeer herders, and support and strengthen local agencies.

It also improves the ability of nomads to participate in land use and natural resource management decision-making processes.

The lives of semi-nomads are more stable than nomads, but they are still chasing their flocks for a long time. For example, millions of Mongolians were half nomads for thousands of years. They traditionally owned shepherds, goats, horses and Bactrian camels. Today, about a quarter of the population of Mongolia continues to live in semi-nomads. Semi - nomads may be related to invasion. In the 12th century, Genghis Khan, the leader of Mongolia, conquered almost all of Asia by linking various nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. These nomads are well suited to cross different landscapes because they are familiar with the area of ​​large area and live in a sparse environment for a long time.

There are several different kinds of grazing. One of the oldest forms of grazing is pastoral grazing. Nomads of the nomads are walking around with small tribes and large families without families. Nomads live in arid and semi arid regions in Africa, Asia, Europe and Tundra regions in Asia and Europe. Nomadic grazing is sometimes considered a kind of self-sufficiency agriculture. This is not really the case. Self-sufficiency farmers cultivate and harvest crops mainly for their close relatives and communities. Unlike self-sufficient farmers, pastoralists traditionally earn wages. They sell goods and services from cattle and gather animals from other people. Normally, this trade is part of the informal economy, not explained by local governments. In Africa, the United Nations estimates that pastoralists are responsible for economic activities of more than $ 100 million annually.
