The Macedonian landscapes and position at the crossroads of the Balkans combine with traditional land practices to create the right ingredients for abundant and diverse wildlife. Across much of Europe increasing prosperity has seen the disappearance of traditional farming, but almost one third of Macedonia is still covered with grazed steppe areas. And whilst the numbers of sheep are declining rapidly, the hillsides are often grazed to their summits.
