Rescued Donkeys Used in Catalonia to Reduce Wildfire Risks Through Grazing
In southern Catalonia, Spain, the nonprofit Tivissa Donkey Firefighters uses rescued donkeys to graze dry vegetation, reducing wildfire risks by creating natural firebreaks. Founded in 2020 by Joan Cedó Sans, the project manages 62 donkeys across public and private lands. These animals complement firefighting efforts by maintaining cleared paths and undergrowth, benefiting both the landscape and the donkeys, which receive care and a dignified life. Experts note grazing reduces fire intensity but does not prevent all wildfires.
