Story

Ona, a name from Yoruba meaning "treasure," is fitting for this brown heifer as she moves with quiet determination through the dry, sparse landscape. Guided by land managers, her grazing is part of a strategic effort to enrich the ecosystem. As Ona walks, her hooves trample the vegetation, creating a layer of ground cover that is crucial for moisture retention, erosion control, and the decomposition process. This action supports the land's regeneration, demonstrating how livestock, like a hidden treasure, can contribute significantly to the health and sustainability of the environment.
