Forest plantations can alter the availability of grazing land and interrupt established pastoral routes. Although intended to increase vegetation cover, these plantations may occupy areas previously used by herders to move their livestock or access forage. The map illustrates the extent of plantations being undertaken between the years 2016 and 2019 in a portion of the state. In general, herders are forced to navigate such pastures, and to modify their routes in accordance with these closures.
