Eine Vision für den Biotopverbund 2.0: ein Infrastruktur-Netz für mobile Herden von Pflanzenfressern, ein Netz aus Wilden Weiden & Hirtenkorridoren, mit Menschen & Weidetieren, die Brände verhüten, Samen transportieren, Artenvielfalt boostern… Bald im Nationalen Wiederherstellungsplan!? 🧐 #IYRP2026
Me too, but society isn't conducive to large herbivores running around.
That's one of the reasons why I advocate for supervised grazing and migrations, with either wild herbivores or livestock, or both.
We need a herbivore infrastructure network to get them into as many places as possible.
