PASTORAL GÖÇEBE TOPLUMLAR VE KÜLTÜREL PEYZAJ KORUMANIN ÖNEMİ

Abstract

Nature also begun to be ravaged with the history of humanity. This ravage has reached to irreversible dimensions in the last three hundred years. The wild life, which is a part of the natural landscape, is also affected by these ravages. The waters are polluted, the lands become into deserts and are inefficient. The forests have been turned into agricultural land with its ravage. Pastoral nomadic societies have accepted the fields which are parts of the natural landscape as their home and tried to preserve it. They also become a natural part of the ecosystem with the animals they feed. Pastoral nomadic communities living in Anatolia have been named by "immigrant" communities or "Yoruk" and "Turkmen" expressions in more specific terms for Anatolian region. The people's veterinary medicine which is a part of the cultural landscape that the nomads in Anatolia have formed for a thousand years is mentioned in this research.
