Overgrazing occurs when animals, such as cattle or sheep, eat too much grass and other plants in a specific area. This can happen when there are too many animals for the land to support, leading to the plants being unable to recover. As a result, the soil can become bare and lose its nutrients, making it harder for new plants to grow. When overgrazing happens, it can lead to serious problems like soil erosion and loss of biodiversity. Without enough plants to hold the soil in place, rain can wash it away, and the land can become less productive. This can affect not only the animals but also the people who rely on the land for food and resources.
