The decline in land under pastures & grazing lands is because of pressure from agricultural land. "Illegal encroachment" because of expansion of cultivation on common pasture lands is largely responsible for this decline.
Explanation:
- The livestock's pasture needs far outweigh their land availability or fodder. This causes over-grazing and consequent pasture land degradation. Not only did overgrazing reduce pastureland productivity, it also resulted in soil fertility loss and reduction in holding capacity.
- The degradation of pasture land was also because of increasing population & land use practices. Grazing lands in some nations have come up due to removal of vegetation. Hence any change in the grazing lands would result in removal of more vegetation or forest areas
- The existing livestock has to feed on whatever grassland existed as pasture lands started to shrink. This resulted in continuous intensive grazing of these pastures.
- When restrictions were imposed on pastoral movement, grazing lands came to be continuously used & the pasture quality declined. This led a further shortage of forage for livestock & the deterioration of live stock. Underfed cattle died in large numbers during scarcities & famines.
