I remember in Africa, in the late 1960s/early 1970s, being taught in social studies, that Ethiopia was at risk for famine. They discussed that many farmers raised sheep and goats, which have a drastically different impact on the environment, than cattle (it has to do with how they eat grass -they pull it out by the roots, while cattle clip it).

Not long after that, Ethiopia was in the news for... anyone?

Lots and lots of ignoring scientists. Nothing new here.
