Abstract
Transhumance has existed in the nomadic livestock system for a long time, but it has undergone transformation with the political, social and economic changes of the country. These changes took place slowly before the Pahlavi era. But after that it gained more speed. Showing the path of evolution can be useful in modifying or changing relevant management plans.
