"Desertification
is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory
in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about
two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing
traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted
his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a
surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that
was once desert.
