  1. Eryri National Park Peatland Restoration Projects, Wales
    "By working closely with farmers and graziers we can ensure that they can continue to graze the land. Sustainable grazing benefits the peatland as it helps to keep it healthy by preventing any one species from dominating."

  4. An #Oregon #cattle #ranch just added #solar without losing #grazing land
    The one‑acre, 120‑kilowatt array is the first real‑world installation of #RUTE’s patented, cable‑stayed solar tracker designed specifically to coexist with grazing cattle. RUTE supplies the hardware and is also acting as the developer for its first regional cattle‑plus‑solar demonstrations.

  5. Approved for destruction - Australia a global deforestation hotspot

    "More than 57,000 hectares of threatened species habitat was approved for destruction by the Australian government in 2025 – the most in 15 years, according to analysis by the Australian Conservation Foundation."

    “A lot of people don’t know that Australia is a global deforestation hotspot … every year, we lose more forest than the loss from the entire palm oil industry in Indonesia...Of the threatened species land clearing, 98% occurred in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales."

  10. As President Donald Trump’s administration pushes a pro-ranching agenda, ProPublica and High Country News investigated how public lands grazing has evolved.

    Here are the biggest takeaways from our reporting.

  12. Animal #farming occupies more land than all of North & South America combined, while providing only 12% of global calories. Over 100 studies show that removing #livestock consistently increases plant & animal diversity, while #grazing reduces native species richness… (1/2) iffs.earth/living-repor...

  14. Wealthy Ranchers Profit From Public Lands. Taxpayers Pick Up the Tab.
    ---

    A ProPublica and High Country News investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supercharging the system.

  15. Funny how that works:

    "The wealthy profit from public lands, and taxpayers pick up the tab"

    "Roughly two-thirds of grazing on Bureau of Land Management land is controlled by just 10% of permit holders. "

  16. A Loophole Allows Ranchers to Renew Grazing Permits With Little Scrutiny of the Environmental Impact
    ---

    With dwindling oversight, cattle are grazing where they’re not supposed to and in greater numbers or for longer periods than permitted. This can spread invasive plants, pushing out native species and worsening wildfire risk.

  22. Biodiversity of meadows degraded by fossil fuel machinery and fertilisers

    Technology assessment could be defined as "a form of policy research that examines short- and long term consequences (for example, societal, economic, ethical, legal) of the application of technology."

  23. A nation of arsonists
    From arson to carelessness: how humans set Europe on fire

    "A staggering 96% of EU wildfires are human-caused, many set on purpose... Yet the issue is consistently overlooked by policymakers and treated lightly by courts."

    "Many blazes are caused by carelessness, but a significant proportion are deliberate – especially in the worst-affected countries: Portugal, Spain, France and Greece."

    “This is a serious crime that destroys lives, villages and natural heritage...The law exists – what is lacking is firm justice, without complacency...A 2015 government report also found that farmers often start fires while clearing land during high-risk periods and then allow them to spread unchecked.""

  24. "The [#AUC] report notes that the vast majority of #wind and #solar sites are located on poorer land. [And] that #windfarms use about 5% of their lease area, leaving the rest for #grazing or suitable #crops... `It is very difficult to define #pristine #viewscape in a manner that satisfies all stakeholders, and [it] may not be desirable because the value of a viewscape is subjective. [Sometimes] a view [of] existing #development may be of greater value to #Albertans than a pristine view.'"
