Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Français : Cheval de bergers urbains, lors d'une période de gestion d’espaces verts urbains par écopaturage (Ecopastoralisme urbain) cette année là par 140 moutons et 10 chèvres, dans le bois de la citadelle, autour de la Citadelle de Vauban à Lille au printemps 2019, ici à proximité de la Porte royale de la Caserne Bouflers. Les animaux appartiennent à la société Ecozoone spécialisée dans le pâturage fixe ou itinérant (avec dans ce cas un « berger urbain » ou deux aidé de chiens de bergers, border collies pour la plupart). Les herbivores entretiennent la végétation d’une manière plus écologique que lorsqu’elle est tondue ou fauchée à la machine (par exemple les chèvres se mettent debout et mangent les feuilles basses des buissons et arbres, et les moutons broutent en accompagnant mieux le relief du sol, qu’ils enrichissent par leurs excréments) et lors des itinérances (une transhumance a été organisée au travers de Lille le 19 mai 2019) ils jouent un rôle de « corridor biologique ambulant », car en se déplaçant d’un site à l’autre, ils transportent des propagules de végétaux et d’autres organismes tels que spores de champignons, propagules de lichens, insectes et autres invertébrés, bactéries, etc. (les herbivores transportent ces propagules sous leurs sabots, dans leur pelage mais aussi dans leur tube digestif. Certaines graines ne vont germer ou bien s’enraciner qu’après être passées dans le tube digestif d’un herbivore). Ces animaux itinérants reconnectent ainsi des milieux semi naturels relictuels, fragmentés et éloignés les uns les autres, contribuant à la connectivité écologique indispensable au maintien de la biodiversité.
English: Urban shepherd's horse, during a period of management of urban green spaces by ecopaturing ( Urban Ecopastoralisme) that year by 140 sheep and 10 goats, in the wood of the citadel , around the Citadel of Vauban in Lille in the spring of 2019, here near the Royal Gate of the Bouflers Barracks. The animals belong to the company Ecozoone specialized in fixed or itinerant grazing (with in this case an "urban shepherd" or two helped by shepherds dogs, border collies for the most part). Herbivores maintain vegetation in a more environmentally friendly way than when they are mowed or machine-cut (eg goats stand up and eat the low leaves of bushes and trees, and sheep graze by better accompanying the soil, enriched by their excrement) and during itineraries (a transhumance was organized through Lille on 19 May 2019) they play a role of "walking biological corridor", because moving from one site to another other, they carry propagules of plants and other organisms such as mushroom spores, propagules of lichens, insects and other invertebrates, bacteria, etc. (The herbivores carry these propagules under their hooves, in their coat but also in their digestive tract.Some seeds will germinate or take root only after having passed into the digestive tract of an herbivore). These traveling animals reconnect semi-natural, relict, fragmented and distant environments, contributing to the ecological connectivity essential for maintaining biodiversity. |
