Wildlife and landscape management on the clumps
Over the past century, biodiversity has suffered globally, due to a combination of over-exploitation of wildlife and soils, rapid land-use changes, invasive pests, pollution and climate change.
The value of a diverse landscape is now becoming appreciated for its wider importance in the balance of nature. This has encouraged conservation efforts at both national and local levels aiming at a more sustainable environment.
