Spain's wild horses in peril, despite key role in wildfire prevention
78% Informative
Europe 's largest herd of wild horses has dwindled to less than half the 22,000 that roamed its mountains, forests and heathlands in the 1970s .
Fire prevention is one of several roles wild horses play in preserving Galicia 's delicate ecosystems, scientists say.
Drier, hotter weather due to climate change is increasing the frequency of wildfires in Galicia .
The horses are classified as livestock and Javier Alvarez-Blazquez , a retired lawyer who owns ten horses in the Serra da Groba , wants new legislation that recognises their unique circumstances.
The sale of a foal can generate 60 euros ($ 65.08 ) but it doesn't compensate for expenses of about 100 euros a year per horse, he said.
