How we can protect forest from overgrazing? |
Feed dried and stored crop residues (from e.g. maize, beans and pigeon peas) to the livestock. Crop residues can compensate the shortage of fodder because of overgrazing.The farmers can cultivate fodder grass around farmland. If they reduce the number of livestock they can grow enough fodder to feed a few cows on their farmland. Instead ofkeeping a large number of underfed indigenous cows people could reduce the numberand have a few healthy exotic cows or crossbreeds. Forest fires can be prevented. |
