Sustainable Grasslands

Once, the western plains thrived with vast herds—buffalo, elk, deer, and the predators that roamed alongside them. Yet, when we look upon that same landscape today, it’s hard to fathom how swiftly such a rich ecosystem could fade in just over a century. What drove this rapid environmental shift?

The urgency to restore natural relationships, the very essence of all life, struck me during my journey in beekeeping. But this call for restoration resonates across our entire planet. Those who listen closely can hear the plea, and those who sense the right spirit understand the pressing need to return to Earth’s natural rhythms.

As humans, we find ourselves in a dilemma—we have many mouths to feed and growing energy and resource demands. However, our consumption, vital though it may be for survival, poses a threat to the interconnected web of life of which we are a part.

Like an illness, if our impact doesn’t align with our host, a fever may arise to regulate the population and counteract our influence.

Could Allan Savory’s insights be a step toward natural harmony? If we wish to continue enjoying a bountiful life and sustenance, I believe so!
