Story

Ama, a name from Akan meaning "born on Saturday," suits this black heifer as she moves through the dry, leafless landscape. Guided by land managers, her grazing is part of a strategic approach to enhance ecosystem diversity. As Ama walks, her hooves trample the vegetation, laying down a layer of ground cover that's vital for moisture retention, erosion control, and the decomposition process. This action supports the land's regeneration, showcasing how livestock, regardless of the day they were born, can play a significant role in maintaining the balance of nature.
