Permaculture requires the use of many animals as if they are essential to nature. They are essential to Permaculture: birds, chickens, cats, dogs, geese, ducks, horses, donkeys, worms, llamas, rabbits, goats, fish, snakes, etc., in certain eco-zones pastures, yards, pens, or coops. These animals need our energy and support to grow and thrive, but in return their energy, activity, and waste greatly contributes to the overall vitality of the Permaculture systems. In Permaculture we have wildlife corirdors for them to nest, grow or visit – each with the purpose of benefiting other parts of the system. We use animal products: manuer/fertilizer, eggs, fur, and meat to eat. They make great pets, lawn-mowers, protectors, composters, and they eat pests. Permaculture would not be a healthy natural design system without a variety of animals.
