Grazers are Givers - Modern livestock when properly managed makes a healthier ecosystem. Conservation is about managing land wisely. The land needs stewardship, not idealogy.

Poaching had emptied the wildlife in Zambia's Lower Luano Valley. Today, thanks to the dedication of local communities, wildlife is returning. #OperationReturnofTheWild will bring Cape buffalo and Puku back #WitnessTheReturn #Conservation #Zambia #ShepherdsOfWildlife

Grazers are givers. From the #CapeBuffalo of #Africa to the bison of North America, grazing animals are not the enemy of healthy ecosystems. They are among nature's most important partners. Remove the grazers, and the system begins to unravel.#OperationReturnOfTheWild

With support from the Zambian government and local communities, Shepherds of Wildlife Society has raised more than $150,000 to return 50 buffalo and 50 Puku to their historic range. Now we need your help documenting this extraordinary story. #OperationReturnofthewild

Mother Nature does not practice #conservation. People do. As the sun sets over #Zambia's Lower Luano Valley, scouts begin another night of anti-poaching patrols. Their dedication helped drive an estimated 80% recovery in local wildlife populations. #OperationReturnOfTheWild

This is what real conservation looks like. Communities stayed in the fight and poaching dropped by an estimated 80%. Wildlife returned. The land began to heal. #Conservation works when people have a reason to protect wildlife. #OperationReturnOfTheWild

#Wildlife survives where people benefit from it, and it disappears where they don’t. #Africa is showing us the truth. #Conservation is about restoring a system that actually works. shepherdsofwildlife.org/prod… #OperationReturnOfTheWild #ShepherdsOfWildlife

#Wildlife survives where people benefit from it. And it disappears where they don’t. #Africa is showing us the truth. And that same pressure is coming everywhere else—including here at home.

Wildlife doesn’t survive on good intentions.
It survives when the people living with it have a reason to protect it.
That’s the truth most of the world ignores.

My op-ed in today’s Daily Inter Lake takes a hard look at the reality of grizzly management in the Rockies.
This issue affects everyone — especially landowners across the West. Solutions aren’t simple, but we must work together.
