Goats play an active role in wildfire prevention measures! Ecosystem-friendly and growing in popularity
毎年、山火事に悩まされるカリフォルニア州
California suffers from wildfires every year
Goats are gaining popularity as a countermeasure.
There has been a method of grazing a flock of hungry goats on hills and eating flammable weeds, but in recent years, it is said that eel climbing has become popular.
Not only can a firebreak be created by feeding goats to remove grass, but the excrement can be used as fertilizer and is kind to the ecosystem.
On the hills in the suburbs of Los Angeles, about 200 goats were seen devouring dead grass on this day.
According to a man who started a wildfire prevention business using goats 23 years ago and currently raises 1,600 tennis courts, the rental fee for 25 tennis courts is about 100,000 yen in Japanese yen.
