Portugal neglects goat clearing for wildfire prevention

Portugal faces severe wildfires annually, with rural areas north of the Tagus particularly affected. The country spends millions on firefighting efforts, including aerial resources and equipment, while neglecting preventative measures like using "clearing goats." Despite a successful pilot program after the 2017 tragedies, the use of goats for land management has not been widely adopted, as it doesn't generate significant profits or commissions for powerful interest groups.
