Beschreibung
In the wild heart of Africa, one man's fight to save the land nearly cost him everything.
In the mid-1950s, Allan Savory was a young biologist in a corner of Africa where the bush reverberated with trumpeting elephants and bellowing hippos, and the politics were as dangerous as the wildlife. Over the next three decades, he would become a soldier and tracker in a brutal civil war, a member of Parliament fighting to end it, and an exiled ecologist challenging the world's most sacred environmental beliefs. Savory's insistence that livestock-not their removal-could heal degraded land sparked both breakthroughs and outrage. Branded a heretic, pursued by political enemies, and scarred by personal loss, he pressed on, convinced the future of humanity depended on restoring our life-supporting habitat. UnSavory is the untold story behind Holistic Management-woven through encounters with man-eating lions, political betrayal, and a lifelong battle with the "common sense" that destroys the natural world. It is a front-row seat to Southern Africa's turbulent history and one man's stubborn, improbable quest to change the fate of the earth.
