Problem Pearl Route Protection

Local farmers used to let their cattle graze in this area. The lord of Haamstede Castle paid them for this. By kicking their hooves and grazing, you got a lot of different plants in the landscape. From the 1960s, farmers focused on tourists and the grazers disappeared. The dune grasslands became quite overgrown, but with many of the same plants and trees. Then the rabbits also got sick, so they too disappeared from the dunes. Lots of the same plants, means fewer animals. A big problem that had to be solved. Imagine you are a protector of the Sea Dunes. How would you solve it?
