#Rewilding #UK #Dartmoor #Desert
Not a Sahara desert, but abcent of life, unable to nurture a biodiverse life. But caused by an all to common culprit: extensive grazing of life stock. Eating whatever is left, and when that is gone grazed by a less particular stock... until it's dead.. So a desert.
What needs to be done to bring life back ? Because that's possible !
Firstly, stop the grazing. Cattle favours the sprouts [life beginnings] before it grows.
Secondly, retain water in the area. By artficial but natural means and by disrupt the man made drainage put there over the centuries.
And this is not about blaming farmers. It's about land management, and that's where farmer should [get to] play an important crucial role.
Since Britain left the EU the UK government has been rethinking farming and the incentives which they pay farmers and they've come up with ELMS [Environmental Land Management]. Farmers will be incentivized [they will be paid] to not only produce food but manage the land as well.
