Why could shrinking open pastures become a serious problem for pastoralists?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The land available for grazing animals decreased
Pastoralists depended on their animals, and the animals depended on open pastures for grazing. When pastures shrank, animals received less grass, affecting their health, milk or wool production, and the pastoralists’ income. Increased sea trade was not a direct effect of shrinking grazing land. Exam tip: link loss of pastures with shortage of fodder and loss of livelihood.
