 Allan Savory\, has been developing and demonstrating a powerful techniqu
 ethat can reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere immediately while reve
 rsingdesertification and providing livelihoods and food for millions of 
 people. His appliedresearch based in Zimbabwe on the restoration of gras
 slands &nbsp\;has &nbsp\;now &nbsp\;been &nbsp\;replicated &nbsp\;onmill
 ions &nbsp\; &nbsp\;of &nbsp\; &nbsp\;acres worldwide. The application o
 f his methods has the potential to significantly reduceatmospheric carbo
 n through an increase in plant growth and soil formation. This process b
 egins immediatelyand involves no new technologies\, only a shift to the 
 Holistic Management practices for livestock that he haspioneered. Major 
 organizations and institutions are now recognizing his work\, but climat
 e scientists andgovernments have yet to incorporate it into their analys
 es and policy prescriptions.
