  9. Rangeland degradation since 1945 Percentages indicate the contribution of overgrazing to total degraded area.

  10. WWF states 70% of the country's pasture land is degraded due to overgrazing according to findings of scientists. Degraded land in turn is occupied by rodents: plague by Brandt voles and grasshoppers requiring periodic infestations. Stock size has increased 1.3 times with goat herd size doubled in 1995 against 2000 in the Altai Sayan eco-region alone.

  12. Let them be for some while! Allow proper Regrowth.

  13. Rotate your cattle well Proper grazing management is rotating the animals before they can graze regrowth. This is why continuous grazing in the same pasture ensures overgrazing

  14. The wow’s! The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) singled out human impact and, specifically, livestock grazing as the cause of the irreversible degradation which has prevailed during the past two decades (Pearce, 1992). According to the World Resources Institute (WRI, 1992) "overgrazing is the most pervasive cause of soil degradation . . . . In Africa and Australia, overgrazing causes 49 and 80 percent, respectively, of soil degradation, mainly in semi-arid and arid regions."
