However, Basharia are concentrated in the Southeast part of the area, while Ababda are mainly present in the Northwest part and Rashayda outside Shalateen. What should be outlined here is that approximately 4,000 people are settled, while 3,000 semi-nomads move inside and outside the Protected Area according to traditional and survival activities, i.e. trade, grazing, charcoal and water collection and visiting relatives. Movements towards outside mainly depend on trade. People move back and forth to Sudan, to Aswan and to Quseira. Basharia go mainly to Sudan, while Ababda move West and North. Movements inside the Protected Area happen at random according to the rainwater and the grazing routes.
