Abstract
This chapter offers a brief overview of common points raised by shepherds, resident landowners, and activists whom we have met in A Country of Shepherds. Putting these distinct voices in conversation with one another, we gain a wider view of the practices of transhumant shepherding and extensive grazing, as well as the collective efforts keeping them alive. Our author summarizes obstacles the informants have pointed out and how they relate to larger systemic issues. Lastly, we hear of the resilience of this tradition and new paths forward that foster hope for the future of pastoralism in Andalusia.
