Argentina’s Patagonia sees sharp fall in sheep farms amid tough times

Sheep farming in Argentina's Patagonia is in steep decline due to economic challenges and rural depopulation. Climate change is causing severe droughts and soil erosion, damaging pastures. Many historic farms have been abandoned, with some land becoming a national park. Park authorities argue that overgrazing damaged the fragile environment, and new practices are needed. This shift presents a struggle for remaining ranchers to preserve their way of life. Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo reports from Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
