Allan Savory (ecologist)

Allan Savory is a Zimbabwean ecologist renowned for developing holistic land management practices aimed at restoring degraded ecosystems. He proposes that well-managed livestock grazing can mimic natural herd movements, promoting healthier grasslands, increasing soil carbon storage, and reducing desertification. His approach challenges traditional views by suggesting that livestock, when properly managed, can be a vital tool for environmental restoration and combating climate change, rather than solely a cause of land degradation. Savory’s methods emphasize the interconnectedness of land health, animal grazing, and climate stability, advocating for sustainable, ecological approaches to land use.
