Goats and sheep in Albuquerque's Bosque prevent wildfires via grazing combustible vegetation.

Goat grazing, a unique and natural approach to fire prevention, is being used to protect Albuquerque's Bosque from potential wildfires. A team of 215 goats and 15 sheep work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to maintain the open space, reducing the risk of fires while also restoring the natural landscape. Their work is cost-efficient and effective, as they live to eat, actively contributing to fire prevention efforts.
