To protect work landscapes such as grazing rangelands and enhance their biodiversity is perhaps one of the most important ecological tasks of my generation. Why regenerative meat, leather, tallow, wool? Because these can be and often are by-products of rangelands conservation.
US Fish & Wildlife finds that in the last 10 years, North America has lost more than 50 million acres of grasslands. At a total loss of 80%. The World Wildlife Fund reports that 2.6 million acres of grassland habitat was lost in the North American Great Plains in 2019 alone. Ranching protects these landscapes from being sold to developers, rock quarries, or tilled for cropland. The last stand against the Anthropocene. Our grazing lands are the Great Barrier Reef of North America. #AmazingGrazingLands
