Pastoralist Landscapes is a research project supported by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano that explores how shepherds living in mountainous regions shape cultural landscapes through traditional ecological knowledge. Combining ethnographic and ecological methods, the project investigates local practices of pasture management and reveals the often invisible transhumance routes that define seasonal movement and land use.

​

By documenting the daily rhythms, spatial memory, and environmental interaction of shepherd communities, Pastoralist Landscapes offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the relationship between people, place, and ecological heritage in high-altitude regions.
