On 15 August 2022 The Guardian reported: An age-old strategy has been revived to tackle the devastating effects of drought and heatwaves. The four-legged brigade -- made up of 290 sheep and goats -- had just one task: to munch on as much vegetation as possible. Their arrival turned Barcelona into one of the latest places to embrace an age-old strategy that's being revived as officials around the world face off against a rise in extreme wildfires. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

The idea is simple: wildfire-prone areas are handed over to grazing animals, who chomp and trample over dry vegetation that could otherwise accumulate as fuel for fires. Whether the animals are semi-wild or overseen by a shepherd who is usually compensated for their efforts, a job well done usually leaves behind a landscape dotted with open spaces that can act as firebreaks.

The city's foray into the strategy echoes similar efforts around the world.
