Because of overgrazing by sheep, the deforested uplands, including a national park looked like the aftermath of a nuclear winter says George Monbiot, the British author and environmental polemicist. He proposes an end to this artificial foundation for the agricultural hegemony to be replaced by a more lucrative economy of walking and wildlife - based activities. We are sharing the same problem here in Finland, over the third of our country is reindeer husbandry, the land is overgrazed and all the apex predators are killed because of environmentally destructive and economically ruinous reindeer herding.
