Stories of Coexistence - MATTIA, cattle breeder in Valle d'Aosta

Saturday 11 December 2021

Coexistence with large predators often requires profound changes in their habits, not only for those who breed, but also for those who frequent the mountains and share the territory with those who use prevention methods, such as LGDs or electrified nets.

This is one of the most precious insights we have learned from Mattia, a cattle farmer in Valle d'Aosta, where, during the mountain pasture season, he protects over 100 young cattle from wolf attacks through an approach that sees his dogs talking about it. sensory plane of the wolf. During this journey, carried out within the project "The Coexistence Fund - The coexistence fund" we also met other breeders and during the next few weeks we will tell you their stories, all united by a great passion for a job that, from our point of view, it is even more beautiful when it is carried out in harmony with all the elements of the ecosystem.
