How People and Livestock can Coexist to Support Nature

Livestock farmers, ranchers, and pastoralists manage one-third of the world’s land and nearly 20% of global freshwater. These systems, shaped by diverse environmental, cultural, and economic contexts, present unique challenges and opportunities.

Innovative, context-specific livestock management practices can enhance sustainability, foster biodiversity, and secure livelihoods. From sustainable ranching in North America’s Northern Great Plains to regenerative silvopasture on Colombia’s Andean slopes, and resilient grazing strategies in Tanzania’s Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem, these approaches balance agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship.

Collaboration among policymakers, researchers, and local communities is essential to creating solutions that work for people and nature.
