Percepce návratu divokých býložravců do krajiny ČR
Cenková, Jitka
The bachelor thesis deals with the return of the natural grazing with a help of wild herbivores, such as wild horses, aurochs and European bison into the landscape of the Czech Republic. Based on literary research, a positive influence on the natural grazing for increasing the diversity of species in the landscape has been identified. The thesis is focused on a pilot project in Milovice reserve in which the natural grazing is taking place since 2015. In the described project, an increase of the tourist potential and a spread of awareness of the region which is developing due to the territorial reserve project has been found. The following aim of the bachelor thesis is, based on the questionnaire, to evaluate, how the inhabitants of the Czech Republic perceive this project and its impact on the future. The target group, the inhabitants of the Central Bohemian Region, evaluate the project and its impacts positively. The inhabitants of other regions have not heard about this project and there are also some negative opinions. The aim of the thesis is to suggest additional tourist activities and to promote the project in the vicinity of the reserve.

Cattle Domestication and pastoralism in the African Sahel
Salajková, Veronika ; Černý, Viktor (advisor) ; Kyselý, René (referee)
Breeding of domesticated animals was one of the most important events which led to a significant progress in the history of mankind. Domestication appeared in several places simultaneously and inhabitants of these areas gained a considerable advantage in comparison with their hunters- gatherers ancestors. Fertile Crescent in the Near East, where many useful animals were domesticated, cattle included, was most important of them. In sub-Saharan territory gradual introduction of pastoral farming was limited for example by incidence of serious diseases in certain areas. In addition, Sahara, which in the past used to be a very favourable pastoral territory, in the progress of time started to change into despairing desert and the onset of devastating drought forced local inhabitants to move to the area of Sahel and to engage with cattle breeding. Due to the reduction of other natural sources local inhabitants had to draw attention to milk production which became an important source of food. Some of them have not left this life strategy up to the present time.
