    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the nomads of Iran who every year migrate towards the cooler pastures of the Zagros mountain range in Spring. At the end of autumn they return to Iran's Khuzestan Province, to make their animals strong and well fed to make it through the winter. There are over one million nomads in Iran who have long resisted modern ways through the isolation that comes with their lifestyle.
