Livestock grazing , openings and raptors conservation in the Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Forest National Park
2016
Bakaloudis, D E
Livestock grazing regimes may influence indirectly wildlife populations and particularly species such as raptors that depend mainly on open areas for hunting their prey. In the Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli forest National Park (DLS NP), which supports a valuable number of wildlife species and densities, including mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, socio-economic reasons as well as zoonoses have resulted in declining livestock numbers over the last six decades. Its consequence was evident in the gradual increase of forested areas and the decrease of openings. This canopy closure of the area through shrub and tree encroachment may influence raptor distribution and abundance within the DLS NP, but this should be studied in more detail.
