Not over collecting then?

Post by DaveW »

Interesting article. Those who have visited arid areas in habitat will have probably noticed the damage done to our plants by viticulture, farming and animals being allowed to graze free to consume what sparse vegetation there is. Strange the conservationists never highlight this in the our press?

I can’t believe the amount of damage goats do when allowed to graze freely. Whole hillsides laid waste.
