Can golf courses help save the planet? Ask a herd of wild pigs

Retrieved on: 
星期六, 十二月 30, 2023

But no, this was not Just Stop Oil back for another round, nor the result of a disgruntled golfer.

Key Points: 
  • But no, this was not Just Stop Oil back for another round, nor the result of a disgruntled golfer.
  • Javelinas (or peccaries) are small but feisty relatives of the domesticated pig, found across the southern US and into South America.
  • A study of wild boar in Spain revealed that they raided golf courses less often during the COVID lockdown, when hunting was curtailed.

The bogey of management

  • But these benefits depend on good management to create a mix of habitats, including flower-filled rough grass, scrub and woodland.
  • Wildlife-friendly golf course management can even benefit the game itself.
  • Water draining from these courses may be polluted with pesticides or nutrients that alter the algae in adjacent streams.
  • French golfers have it easy compared with some of the creatures roaming the fairways in other countries.
  • Florida’s golfers, for example, would do well to keep an eye out for alligators.
  • The Arizona course staff were understandably horrified by the damage done, but the javelinas have their fans too.

Rewild the fairway

  • In the US, the total number of golf courses is declining, with more closures than openings since 2006 – many of them abandoned with no new purpose in mind.
  • Reversing the drainage from derelict courses could create new wetland habitats capable of stalling floods during heavy rainfall.
  • Projects to reverse this damage and rewild golf courses are springing up in England, the US and Australia.
  • The usefulness of pigs and their kin for grubbing up the land is widely recognised in rewilding projects.
  • It has become fashionable among opponents of rewilding to criticise this approach to nature conservation for taking land out of food production.
