    3. The movement of herders is often dictated by climatic conditions and the availability of water and pasture.
    4. Transhumance involves regular seasonal migrations, usually between lowlands in winter and highlands in summer.
    5. Nomadic herding sustains local economies but is vulnerable to climate change and modern agricultural practices.
