Manejo, problemática y oportunidades de los caballos salvajes de Galicia como herramienta de conservación de hábitats prioritarios en la Red Natura 2000

Abstract: Los caballos salvajes de Galicia representan un elemento central de los paisajes abiertos de las sierras gallegas, donde se relacionan con la conservación de diferentes hábitats como las turberas y los brezales húmedos atlánticos. En el marco del proyecto LIFE "Life in Common Land" (LIFE16 NAT/ ES/000707), cuyo objetivo es la conservación de los hábitats prioritarios del espacio Red Natura "Serra do Xistral", realizamos entrevistas semiestructuradas a las personas que realizan el aprovechamiento de los caballo… Show more

“…Pony owners at Xistral belong to different commons and many are professional farmers whose incomes come mainly from cattle breeding. Ponies are mainly used for maintaining mountain pastures in good condition, and marginally for meat production (Lagos et al 2019;Fagúndez et al 2021). In turn, Sabucedo ponies are managed by an association of the village neighbours who keep the traditional management mainly for the annual drift, a local fest and a touristic attraction (Nuñez et al 2016;Hartigan 2020).…”

“…Increase of grazing and browsing pressure on the habitat may have different effects depending on the initial conservation status. Atlantic ponies are able to feed on gorse in considerable amounts, especially in winter (Tyler 1972;Putman et al 1987;Aldezabal et al 2013), which has meaningful implications for the conservation status of the habitat, as gorse encroachment is a clear indicator of low habitat quality (Alonso et al 2003;Fagúndez 2016;Lagos et al 2019;Muñoz-Barcia et al 2019). Therefore, in closed heaths with high gorse cover this increased browsing pressure may be desirable, especially in winter.…”
