This not only helps the animals survive, but it also helps rural Spanish communities by providing work and helps the environment by regenerating new plant life through the spread of seeds and spores in their hooves.
The animals themselves could be harmed with more city development, forcing them further out of their space and limiting their grazing pastures and land to move around and stay healthy. Economic issues such as inflation, which increases prices of everyday things such as groceries, greatly affects the farmers' lives and ability to care for the animals, so this is also something to look out for. Going to watch the Transhumance Festival is very exciting, but it can also bring awareness and more support so that Mother Nature can keep its home and stay well taken care of!
