What an awesome project. I am so grateful that there are people out in the world who are coming up with creative ways to allow farmers and wildlife to live together.
This is also good grazing practise,,as the cattle spend less time spoiling the grass they have not eaten. But wolves diet only includes only 10% pigs,,which is very helpful to control them ( they are overrun and destrutive ) Because is usually babies,, But the rest of their diet used to be mainly rabbit,,which are certainly not so abundant anymore ,,,
Genuine question. How do you square supporting grazing of domesticatedv animals with your mission to rewild? Animal agriculture is so destructive to the environment taking up incredible amounts of land for very few calories, causing deforestation, habitat loss, water acidification and indeed most of the things you claim to be fighting! To top it all off this grazing isn't financially self sufficient instead relying on subsidies to exist. Would it not be better for people to transition away from animal agriculture entirely and leave when more space for wildlife and rewildding? Animal products aren't necessary for health and they are really inefficient for space so I'm not sure why you'd work with them? Yes wolves are important and I want to see them thrive but if the main problem is interaction with livestock a simple solution is to remove the livestock and use the subsidies to pay for these farmers to become rangers. It would cost less and be better all round.
Actually, a lot of grasslands evolved with herbivores that graze (though I'm not sure about this particular area). As much of the herbivores do not exist anymore in many areas, livestock can fill that gap. Regenerative farming practices that incorporates grazers that have significantly improved the land is quite interesting. It's not rewilding exactly, but in a similar vein. Better farming practices that regenerate land help other species to co-exist in the same space (instead of driving them off the land completely).
Its so cute that the dogs play with the cows. love this idea!

GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD CHECKIT
Do they have a time limit like guide dogs who support humans?
Where exactly is this in Portugal?
Douro region, the southern part i think
What is the dog's breed?
Sério um documentário sobre os cães e estão vocês ai a conversar e os cães nem velos. Que bom :( documentário------
Ati's attitude will change when he hits maturity for sure. Might take a while though.
Hominid and caninus
