Recent findings have revealed the toxic plant landøyde spreading in Setesdal, posing a significant threat to livestock and wildlife.

Farmers are urged to remove the plant, as even small amounts can be fatal to grazing animals like horses and cattle.

The plant, which is also home to the endangered karminspinner larva, creates a dilemma for conservationists.

While its removal is necessary for agricultural safety, it also endangers the larva's habitat.

Experts emphasize the importance of balancing agricultural needs with ecological preservation, as the karminspinner is already listed as a threatened species.

The situation highlights the ongoing struggle between farming practices and environmental conservation efforts in Norway.
