[IYRPsupportgroup] World map of pastoralists poster - based on map prepared for IYRP 2026

[Santiago carralero benitez]

Dear Ann, thank you for the world map of pastoralists.
I would like to contribute, if possible, from my field of expertise as I
see the Tibetan Plateau totally empty of pastoral groups when it is full of
them. The Tibetan is a very generic category to designate them because
there are many different groups. For example, in the Arabian peninsula all
pastoralists could be designated by the generic term "Bedu" but there I see
many different groups on the map, so it is the same for Tibet.
Therefore, I am enclosing below a map of the different Tibetan groups
involved in pastoralism on the Tibetan Plateau.
Another thing I see is that the Qiang are not pastoralists. They are
mountain farmers, although there are some groups that carry out some kind
of herding in northern Sichuan due to the influence of the Tibetan people,
but it is not a people known for pastoralism but for its characteristic
mountain agriculture.

Kind regards,
Santiago
