By Harald Plachter, Ulrich Hampicke
One of many major pursuits of nature conservation in Europe is to guard worthwhile cultural landscapes characterised through a mix of open habitats and hedges, timber and patchy forest (semi-open landscapes).The improvement of those landscapes in the past a long time has been characterised through an ongoing intensification of land use at the one hand, and a growing number of former meadows and pastures turning into fallow because of altering fiscal stipulations nonetheless. because species tailored to open and semi-open landscapes give a contribution to biodiversity in Europe in a huge approach, this improvement is of serious crisis to nature conservation. in numerous international locations largescale, nature-adapted pastoral structures were well-known as one way to this challenge. those structures may well provide a substitute for commercial cattle elevating and continue a excessive biodiversity at the panorama point. opposed to the historical past of cattle illnesses equivalent to BSE and Foot and Mouth disorder and the efforts to reform the typical Agricultural coverage within the european by way of altering the standards for agricultural subsidies, those thoughts achieve specific significance.They can also symbolize a substitute for the validated, expensive habitat administration instruments.
