Integrating goats into Mediterranean forests - 1986
Dat. num.; ilus.; 29 ref. Sum. (En)
It is the mismanagement of goats, rather than the mere presence of goats, which has resulted in damage to Mediterranean forests in the past. Now, with better information available concerning the role of goats in Mediterranean ecosystems it is possible for them to maintain their important role in the economic and social life of rural people in Mediterranean countries without causing significant damage to the forest. Moreover, the author argues, the presence of goats can bring concrete benefits. Achieving this will require that foresters work in harmony with range managers and goat shepherds to develop and maintain forage resources
