The flocks against the fire

Description
The Alpilles landscape has been shaped by centuries of pastoralism. In the massif, sheep and goat herds play an important role in the maintenance of the natural area: by eating the grass and a part of the shoots of trees and shrubs, they slow down the scrub. This practice contributes to the protection of the forest against fire. The tank shows these practices combining pastoralism and fire fighting.
