The young shepherdess Celia Mart\u00ednez Aragon spent the whole summer on the mountain pastures with a mixed herd of sheep and goats. In the autumn, the herd was due to be driven down to the valley below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the framework of the LIFEstockProtect project, the partner organisation planned an excursion to the Stelvio Pass, where stakeholders from Austria and South Tyrol came into contact with the shepherdess, the herd and the project. Previous wolf depredations and a constant threat due to local packs have lead to the protection measures on the pasture and have necessitated a different approach to livestock protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-livestock-protection-adapted-to-the-mountains\">In close contact to livestock guarding dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2022, interested parties visited the remaining animals of the originally 400 strong herd of sheep and goats to gain an insight into the work with livestock guarding dogs. The Maremmano dogs did previously not know the animals, which had been combined into one temporary herd by several different animal husbandry practitioners. The livestock, too, were not accustomed to the presence of the large Italian dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ghostkit-testimonial\"><div class=\"ghostkit-testimonial-icon\"><svg class=\"ghostkit-svg-icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.5954 10.708C15.7931 5.55696 21.1071 5 21.1071 5L21.3565 5.16714C18.945 6.72641 19.0559 8.98169 19.0559 8.98169C19.0559 8.98169 22.1211 9.70495 22.7979 12.2673C23.5186 14.996 22.2158 17.2944 20.4141 18.3373C18.1801 19.6305 15.4248 18.9499 14.0389 17.0008C12.6134 14.996 12.8469 12.4623 13.5954 10.708Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><path d=\"M1.59537 10.708C3.79305 5.55696 9.10709 5 9.10709 5L9.35651 5.16714C6.945 6.72641 7.05592 8.98169 7.05592 8.98169C7.05592 8.98169 10.1211 9.70495 10.7979 12.2673C11.5186 14.996 10.2158 17.2944 8.41413 18.3373C6.18005 19.6305 3.42475 18.9499 2.03887 17.0008C0.61344 14.996 0.846929 12.4623 1.59537 10.708Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"ghostkit-testimonial-content is-layout-flow wp-block-ghostkit-testimonial-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Initially, the dogs and sheep had to get to know each other, and after initial shyness, the dogs were integrated into the herd.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"ghostkit-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"ghostkit-testimonial-name\"><strong><strong>Celia Martinez-Aragon<\/strong><\/strong><\/div><div class=\"ghostkit-testimonial-source\">Shepherdess, Stelvio Pass<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Celia Mart\u00ednez-Aragon is originally from Spain and came to South Tyrol to put her shepherding knowledge to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The excursion participants were put at ease by the relaxed nature of the guardians. As the fence was crossed, the livestock guarding dogs ran over for a warm greeting of the visitors, and the sheep continued to eat, not bothered by the distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-livestock-protection-measures-necessary\">New livestock protection measures necessary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly to the situation on the Stelvio Pass, shepherds and farmers on many mountain pastures in the Alps are under increasing pressure. With increasing wolf density and wandering lone wolves, the seasonally grazing herds are in danger. The almost constant presence of large carnivores necessitates new pathways and management concepts for livestock protection. One potential measure used in some regions is to combine small hearts and thereby make constant shepherding financially viable. The question of if and how high alpine pastures can be maintained does not have a definitive answer. In the Alpine region, wolf-proof permanent fences are difficult to implement due to the difficult terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This season in the Stelvio Pass, an opportunity to successfully implement livestock protection with active shepherding and livestock guarding dogs was found. To preserve the mountain pastures as valuable habitats, as a society we have to proactively support farmers and shepherding. In addition to the aforementioned issues, shepherds face economic difficulties as cheap imported meat threatens local meat production. Products such as wool and mountain cheeses are also in decline, as consumers are no longer prepared to pay the price which renumerates the producers&#8217; hard work. At the same time, climate change and increasing scrub encroachment are making the services provided by herds in alpine areas all the more important. The grazing animals prevent overgrowing of scrubs on pastures, protect the soil from erosion and significantly contribute to biodiversity. It is up to consumers and the general public to uphold this extensive form of herd management. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Jan Wieczor\/Christian Raffetseder This pasture season in the Stelvio Pass, livestock protection was practiced with livestock guarding dogs from Abruzzo.
