Description
The main goal of our project is to revitalize abandoned karstic regions on the principles of silvopastoral systems based on traditional husbandry of goats and sheep and by causing minimal disturbances to the nature. Results of our two year experiment show positive effects on land cleaning and quantity and quality of the turf. However, restriction of animals to a fenced area, where the feed is of a lesser quality also has negative effects on the animals.
