Description

Revue de géographie alpine - Année 2006 - Volume 94 - Numéro 4 - Pages 36-45
Abstract : The mouflon sheep population in the Caroux massif in the French department (département) of Hérault has
increased substantially since the animal was
introduced to the area in 1956. The mouflon is not only a symbol of the area for tou-
rists but also a resource for hunting tourism. However, the spontaneous advance of the
forest, which local actors are striving to halt,
is limiting the expansion of suitable habitats
for the animal.
