> A pastoralist group is a community that manages animals in a pastoralist system (one where the animals walk to their feed). They may be a particular ethnic group or caste, have a specific cultural identity and traditions, use a particular management system, raise specific species or breeds, or occupy a particular region.
> The boundaries of pastoralism are fuzzy. But we exclude livestock farming (where animals are kept in fields or enclosures) and intensive livestock raising (where they are kept indoors).
> For each group in the map, there is a photo, a brief description, a list of the livestock species and breeds it keeps, and references for further information.
> Special thanks to all who have contributed information to the map so far.
