Summary

Description
English: Goat on the arid karst of the Peloponnes browsing a young tree. When there are too many livestock feeding too long on a limited area, vegetation is unable to recover. “overgrazing” causes erosion and then soil contamination. Deterioration of the mediterranian environment into overgrazed shrubland (summers hot and dry, winters rainy) started centuries ago. The traditional animal husbandry inhibits sustainable development.
Deutsch: Ziege auf dem ariden Karst des Peloponnes bei der Schädigung eines jungen Baumes. Wenn die Ertragskraft eines Geländes überzogen wird (Verbiss in semi-ariden Klimazonen) spricht man von Überweidung, die zu Bodenerosion, schließlich zu Bodendegradation führt. In der mediterranen Hartlaubzone mit seinen heiß-trockenen Sommern und Winterregen ist die Degradation schon vor langem eingetreten. Die traditionelle, eine karge Existenz sichernde Viehaltung, steht einer Vegetation aufbauenden Bewirtschaftung entgegen.
