Do pastoralists own land?

When pastoral societies lie outside government control, individual pastoralists cannot own land in the sense of holding legal titles. In these stateless/self-governing environments, individuals secure land use rights through their membership in groups that appropriate land jointly in competition with other groups.

Do pastoralists have private property?

Animals among the Basseri are private property; animals among many other pastoralists are personal property (personalties). This difference between private property and personal property is a function of the technological and economic differences in the societies involved.

Why do pastoralists move from one place to another?
