Grazing animals enjoy an ambiguous reputation in the field of nature conservation. Livestock are often treated as a scourge, yet native large herbivores form the prime attraction of many a reserve. This book gives the first comprehensive overview of the use of grazing as a tool in conservation management. Considering in turn the ecological and historical background, the impact of grazing on community structure, management applications and future prospects, this book examines issues such as the role of herbivores as keystone species, the assessment of habitat quality and the function of scientific models in advancing grazing management. Large herbivores are shown to be potentially powerful allies in the management of nature reserves, particularly in the maintenance, enhancement or restoration of biodiversity. Grazing and Conservation Management will appeal to conservation biologists and rangeland managers, providing them with a clearer understanding of grazing and conservation management.

One of the main objectives of nature conservation in Europe is to protect valuable cultural landscapes characterized by a mixture of open habitats and hedges, trees and patchy woodland (semi-open landscapes).The development of these landscapes during the past decades has been characterized by an ongoing intensification of land use on the one hand, and an increasing number of former meadows and pastures becoming fallow as a result of changing economic conditions on the other hand. Since species adapted to open and semi-open landscapes contribute to biodiversity in Europe in a major way, this development is of great concern to nature conservation. In several countries largescale, nature-adapted pastoral systems have been recognized as one solution to this problem. These systems could offer an alternative to industrial livestock raising and keep a high biodiversity on the landscape level. Against the background of livestock diseases such as BSE and Foot and Mouth Disease and the efforts to reform the Common Agricultural Policy in the EU by changing the criteria for agricultural subsidies, these concepts gain particular significance.They could also represent an alternative to the established, costly habitat management tools.

Rangelands are a type of land that include vast grasslands, shrublands, woodland, wetlands and deserts, grazed by domestic livestock or wild animals. They comprise almost one-half of all the lands in the world. This book analyzes the sustainability of beef cattle systems of the Spanish Rangelands known as Dehesas. These systems are considered as outstanding High Nature Value (HNV) farming systems and the most agroforestry systems in Europe. Additionally, on a global scale, China has around one-eighth of the rangelands (the second largest area of land in any country other than Australia). These rangelands are mostly inhabited by peoples of various ethnic minorities. This book provides an overview of the environment and current development trends in the pastoral regions including a glimpse of the people affected most by any conservation or development effort and provide a framework for future integrated conservation and development work in the pastoral regions of north and north-west China. Furthermore, land degradation and biodiversity loss are the most critical issues of ecological environmenti n the West of China and they are the main causes for poverty and constraints for economic development. This book examines rangeland degradation in China as well as rangeland management and livestock production in an effort to arrest and reverse rangeland degradation. In other chapters, changes in vegetation related with grazing are reviewed, the benefits of reintegrating burrowing bettongs as a part of rangeland restoration programs, and integrating national feral camel management plans that are being implemented across the camel range in Australia, aiming to control the damage caused by camels (there are around 750,000 feral camels in arid and semi-arid rangelands in Australia).
