Historically the land currently occupied by MNR was farmland where the intensity of cattle grazing was high. The vegetation on the land was incapable of recovering due to this overgrazing, leading to widespread degradation. Land degradation is a ( ... )
s problem in MNR and is in urgent need of being addressed. This degradation is observed in two main forms; bush encroachment and soil erosion. Bush encroachment has removed the natural veldt of palatable grass species, whilst certain invading species, including Acacia mellifera and Dichrostachys cinerea, provide poor browsing for game animals. These unpalatable invasive plants out-compete natural
