Twelve donkeys from Miranda clean up land

Twelve Mirandese donkeys will begin clearing rural land in a 30-hectare area near Lagoaça substation to manage fuel and prevent wildfires. This initiative, a collaboration between REN and AEPGA, aims to enhance fire resilience and promote soil fertility while valuing a native species. The donkeys will consume significant biomass daily and utilize rotational grazing to control vegetation growth. The project will also monitor biodiversity and assess the effectiveness of these natural solutions over five years. The initiative has received positive feedback for its dual benefit of ecological management and support for local heritage.
