Communities of nomadic people move from place to place, rather than settling down in one location. Many
cultures have been traditionally nomadic, but nomadic behaviour is increasingly rare in industrialised countries. Typically there
are two kinds of nomad, pastoral nomads and peripatetic nomads. Pastoralists raise herds and move with them so as not to deplete
pasture beyond recovery in any one area. Peripatetic nomads are more common in industrialised nations travelling from place to
place offering a trade wherever they go.
