  1. The total distance covered during the entire period of observation, the median distance travelled per day (standard deviation in brackets) and the distance between the two most far apart locations are all reported in kilometers. The duration of the transhumance, in weeks, is estimated from the week the herds left the grazing location in the Adamawa Region until the week they returned to same location
