The use of animals to control vegetation and reduce fuel in forest areas, contributing to fire prevention, has gained new momentum with Miguel Albuquerque's advocacy.
The President of the Regional Government has defended the use of controlled grazing on land subjected to clearing interventions, aiming to prevent them from becoming overgrown with flammable vegetation again.
Albuquerque's position on grazing has evolved, particularly since 2023, when he acknowledged expanding grazing areas as a way to mitigate the impacts of forest fires, viewing it as a low-cost solution for vegetation management.
