I've seen ted talks and read about Mr. Savory's ideas and methods, and from a position of a carnivore it makes (some) sense. But if you really value nature, wild life, appreciate the biodiversity and complex interactions of undisturbed ecosystems, and start seeing animal farming for what it really is, suddenly his ideas begin losing their weight.
I don't like to participate in ad hominem attacks, but in this case ... that man is a livestock farmer directly responsible for the killings of tens of thousands of african elephants. The effect that had on the ecosystems is enormous.
If we were to take the land away from animal farming and return it to the nature, while protecting forests and all animals, including predators, positive effects would surely outweigh mr. Savory's pseudo-scientific endeavours, maybe protecting him from another blunder of his life.
And Mr. Savory could start growing vegetables, it would help more.

"... while I was Director 30,529 [elephants] were killed, mostly on culls, and the countrywide population grew from an estimated 44,109 to 52,583 animals.” However, this culling program did not reverse the degradation of the land as expected, and Savory has called his decision to advocate for the culling of large numbers of elephants "the saddest and greatest blunder of my life."
