Sustaining the potential of soils for future generations, and safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of the soil and ecosystems requires the protection of both the quality and the quantity of the soil, and the processes sustaining those soils. In this chapter the focus is on the prevention of soil erosion that is induced or accelerated by the activities of people and/or the animals they have introduced.
