Most of animals are kept under nomadic systems in the savannah belt, where herders roam vast areas in search of fodder and water.
The system characterized by the mobility between dry(El masief : December – May ) and wet(El Makharf : September- November) season campsites and the herders attitude of diversifying their herds by keeping more than one type of animal.
CULTURAL HERITAGE The nomads look to livestock as : Activity of the owner and his family. Satisfy the life needs. Saving money for emergency. Prestige, dignity and social status of the
owner.Also the nomads love the migration life
and migration routes and always they yearn for it.
Nomads like the Subsistence living and there is no care to increase their income.
CULTURAL HERITAGE
Semi-nomads and agro-pastoralists
have the same cultural heritage of
nomads.
All nomads and pastoralists do not
care towards settlement,
education, health, new technologies

traditions.
