Firefighters in France and Spain face challenges in wildfire suppression due to insufficient aerial resources. The European Commission, alongside major agricultural organizations, has recognized the potential of grazing livestock to mitigate fire risks by consuming underbrush. Research indicates that this method has effectively limited fire spread in regions such as Extremadura, Andalusia, and Valencia. However, the financial sustainability of this approach remains a concern, as shepherds often rely on government subsidies. Experts emphasize the need for a shift in policy focus from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention strategies.
