Although these observational studies are important to direct the attention of conservationi sis to the variotis cosis and benefits of graZing for g round nesting biriis. ille exact nature of the relations warranis sui ther studies. In particular. sic id experiments are require t to demonstrate how the different species of livestock e. g. Catile, sheep and horse) influence habitat structure, prey abundance and reproduc live success os ground-nesting biriis in the pusZta.
