Overgrazing
Overgrazing occurs when livestock consume grass and other vegetation faster than it can naturally regenerate. This can lead to soil erosion, loss of plant diversity, and degradation of the land. Over time, the affected area may become less productive, making it difficult for both wildlife and livestock to thrive.
The consequences of overgrazing can extend beyond the immediate area, impacting ecosystems and water quality. It can also contribute to desertification, where fertile land becomes increasingly arid. Sustainable grazing practices are essential to prevent overgrazing and maintain healthy ecosystems and pastures.
