Goats enlisted as firefighters to protect Chilean forest.

In Santa Juana, Chile, a project called "Buena Cabra" uses goats to build firebreaks and control dry pastures and other vegetation that fuel forest fires in the summer. The goats have already saved the native forest of the Bosques de Chacay once, preventing the park from being consumed by February forest fires. The technique, also used in Portugal and Spain, relies on grazing goats to prevent wildfires. The project's founder hopes to inspire others to follow suit and use goats for fire prevention.
