In the summer as hot as we live, any Contacted the prevention of flameEspecially in dry agrarian areas and difficult control of firefighters, this is more than welcomed. And if this ally helps not only to prevent fires, but also to improve the quality of our fields and the environment, this ally becomes as important as it is impossible.
Of course, this was part of the fact that the ideologists left to take goats to the forest zones BurgosIn particular, from Valtierra de albacastro And Rebolledo TranspeñaThe field among other things, because they believed that the goats were able to do work without a coin. And there are studies that guarantee that these animals can eat up to 2.5 kilograms of dry plants per day and about 500 grams of sprouts and leaves. And, obviously, they have neither batteries nor working with gasoline, which minimizes the environmental impact, so they are an excellent alternative to the use of heavy equipment.
In addition to their role as a forest “bomber”, their excrement acts as natural fertilizers that enrich the soil, and, in areas of difficult access or in which labor is expensive, they are the most economical option. He GEOPARQUE LAS Loras (Agular de Campoo, Palencia)Realizing this reality, I decided to rely on the cattle of Caprine for clarification and has since transferred herds BranoserIn pellenic lands.
Thus, the aforementioned herd will “work” by the end of the year in the mountains of the settlements of Burgos in order to prefer plants, fauna and mycological biodiversity, to reduce the risk of forest fire and allow the entry of other cattle. In the action, as part of the GAD -EX laboratory, a project that supports the Biodiversity Fund The Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Problem (Miteco) Within the framework of the recovery, transformation and stability plan (PRTR), financed by the European-NEXEN Itagra, Argeol and Fund meanField
The cessation of the traditional community use of “good luck” for the production of forest over the past 50 years caused a forest mass, which includes a high risk of treating a forest fire and is impossible for livestock. Consequently, before the initiative, the sixth part of the Gad-EX laboratory actions to improve the mountains aimed at promoting the production of grass, were carried out and facilitated by goat cattle.
“These treatments in the jungle reduced the high oak density of these forests, which were very closed and were very fragile before fires,” he explains Asier SayzGeneral Director of Itagra. Thus, the dough was clarified, and the trees were removed in the worst conditions, which, on the one hand, allowed the generation of forests for the owner of the mountains and, on the other hand, will encourage the growth of a healthier and energetic forest mass.
Wood and stable dough
In addition, the remains of plants and trimming were crushed and included in the soil, creating very interesting mountains for the introduction of goats, excellent natural, environmental and cheap cleaning than cars. “That is From unused forest, we have received firewood, and we generate a more stable and stable mass“Continues SAZ, which indicates that this action” can be reproduced in many other mountains of the territory. “This intervention is also aimed at positively affecting the biodiversity of these lands and contribute to the creation of mosaics with a more closed and more open area.
For the development of this action, value Gonzalo dizThe cattle that is 22 years old is dedicated to Caprilian livestock in the city of Palcia Brianost, and this does not hesitate when he was asked to cooperate for this intervention. The proximity of the burgos -Montes in which their Andalusian white goats are already working Two main goals of this action: the clarification of the mountains in a sustainable way and their recovery as grassy areas.
