Yes, here in Peru on highlands we had this problem, mostly because this economic activity is one of the most importants in those areas. But this problem unfortunately is because people who raised the cattle didn`t have the environmental education to understand that if they overgraze this land not only the flora would be extinct, but the lands won`t be able to be used for sowing.

Another opinion:

There are some place sin Lima or around Lima where people live in small areas. These places are called “Quintas”. The Quintas are like small houses or flats, but the difference it’s the amount of people living in each place. There are almost 14 up to 16 people in a place of 10mt x 10mt. We know this problem is really worrying.

In the rural zones, the problems of overgrazing are in the seeds. They produce too much products, which causes the erosion because they are abusing of the territories.
