Paradise Preserved: Switzerland

SAVING THE ALPINE MEADOWS

For many people the Swiss Alps are a natural paradise. But in fact this paradise is man-made. Alpine meadows exist only because farmers have been driving their livestock up into the mountains for centuries. Now the ancient traditions are disappearing and the forest is spreadingmore and more. But the Swiss are coming up with new ideas to preserve their unique landscape.
