Tony Coote AM Memorial Lecture

General Michael Jeffery

Allan Savory

Excerpts from his speech:

My university training as an ecologist had taught me that burning grasslands was essential. Every year we burnt millions of hectares to provide a green flush for the animals and to keep the African savannas healthy. In fact, we managed the landscape with fire – much as Aborigines did for thousands of years.
