As part of the #LifeScrubsnet project, we have developed a Livestock Management Protocol, a key tool for making livestock production compatible with scrubland conservation.
? Why is this protocol important?
Scrubland is an essential component of the dehesa and montado, as it protects the soil from erosion, improves biodiversity and acts as a carbon sink. However, its coexistence with livestock farming requires well-defined strategies to avoid overexploitation and encourage its regeneration.
? What will you find in this protocol?
? Strategies for grazing management, adjusted to the needs of the scrubland.
? Benefits of scrubland in livestock production, such as its forage value and its role in soil fertility.
? Recommendations for sustainable use, avoiding the degradation of the ecosystem.
?? Who is it aimed at?
✔️ Livestock farmers and farm managers interested in improving the sustainability of their activity.
✔️ Technicians and consultants in agri-environmental management.
✔️ Researchers and agricultural and conservation policy makers.
? Available in several languages to facilitate its implementation at an international level:
