AI overview

I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The image caption only mentions a Van Gogh painting of Roma nomads, but provides no substantive information about what nomadism is, why people practice it, or why it matters. I cannot responsibly write a factual overview without additional reliable source material.

In the twentieth century, the population of nomadic pastoral tribes slowly decreased, reaching an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world .
