Story

Lara, a name from Swahili meaning "famous," is appropriate for this brown heifer as she confidently navigates the dry, sparse environment. Under the guidance of land managers, her grazing is part of a strategic approach to enhance the ecosystem's health. As Lara moves, her hooves press down the vegetation, creating layers of ground cover that are essential for trapping moisture, preventing soil erosion, and aiding in the decomposition process. This activity not only nourishes the soil but also contributes to the regeneration of the landscape, showing how even a single heifer can play a celebrated role in ecological restoration efforts.
