Transhumance

/trænsˈhjuː.məns/noun
ELI5 mode

Transhumance is the seasonal movement of livestock and their herders between different grazing areas, typically from lowland pastures in winter to highland ones in summer, to optimize resources and avoid overgrazing. This ancient practice not only supports sustainable agriculture but has evolved in modern contexts to address environmental challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss.
