Savory Institute

When global grasslands thrive, we all thrive.

Grasslands cover over 40% of Earth’s land surface, make up more than 70% of agricultural lands, and hold over 30% of terrestrial carbon stocks, with the potential to store much more through regenerative management. Yet they remain dramatically underfunded when it comes to global biodiversity and climate solutions.

These working landscapes are home to more than one billion people and are critical to food security, water cycles, and climate stability. At the same time, they are among the most degraded ecosystems on Earth.

The good news is that grasslands respond quickly to improved management. Regenerative stewardship is one of the most underutilized, scalable, cost-effective, and rapid-impact opportunities we have to deliver measurable gains in biodiversity, carbon, and rural livelihoods, while setting the stage for long-term transformation.

As a global leader in this work, the Savory Institute, alongside our Global Network of locally rooted leaders, has trained more than 35,000 people and supported the regeneration of over 100 million acres worldwide.

That is millions of acres now supporting healthier soils, restored wildlife habitat, stronger rural economies, and a more stable climate for us all.

🌱 Savory projects in action around the world:

👉 Spain, Iberian Peninsula Project
Across 74,000 acres of Mediterranean grasslands, 28 farmers and growing are using Holistic Management to fight desertification and revive rural livelihoods. With farms already monitored, local monitors trained, and new producers preparing to join, Spain is poised for a major leap forward.

👉 Uruguay, Grasslands Regeneration Project
Spanning more than 692,000 acres across 200+ family-owned ranches, this flagship effort is restoring one of South America’s most ecologically vital ecosystems. Producers co-own the project and benefit directly from carbon credits and regenerative markets, proving ecological health and financial resilience can grow together.

👉 Kenya, Mara Regenerative Resilience Project
On 247,000 acres in the Maasai Mara, local grazing committees and trained pastoralists are regenerating degraded lands while strengthening community governance. Early ecological signs are strong, with expansion rooted in trust, tradition, and evidence.

👉 Australia, Regenerative Agriculture Network
Across 1.4 million acres and 105 farms, Australia’s longest-running Holistic Management network continues to thrive. With a 94% retention rate, new workshops, and deep farmer engagement, the data shows regeneration working on the ground.

Going into 2026, the Savory Institute stands at a critical inflection point.

Momentum around regenerative solutions is growing, and we have a powerful opportunity to accelerate impact. We need your help to seize it.

⏰ We have just 2 weeks left in our $35,000 end-of-year campaign.

💚 All gifts right now are being matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000, thanks to John Fullerton, Savory board member, founder of Capital Institute, and author of “Regenerative Economics: Revolutionary Thinking for a World in Crisis.”

That means your gift today can go twice as far toward advancing Holistic Management and regenerating the world’s grasslands.

📘 As a thank you, John is offering a free signed copy of his new book to everyone who donates $200 or more during the match period.
Learn more about the book here: https://lnkd.in/eDSGE7wS

🌱 Your gift supports real, on-the-ground impact:
👉 Scaling Holistic Management training worldwide
👉 Supporting local Hubs and educators
👉 Expanding ecological monitoring across millions of acres
👉 Equipping land stewards with tools, data, and community

Every dollar invested in Savory is amplified across our global network. Our most recent impact report shows an ecological return of 10.3 acres regenerated per US dollar, and that number continues to grow.

The climate crisis can feel overwhelming. Land regeneration is a powerful antidote, and it works.

We are already regenerating more than 100 million acres and growing, right now.

Your support makes this possible.

It is truly one of my dreams come true, to be with Allan Savory himself, together with my team from Tanzania, at their global training centre in Zimbabwe.

If you have been following our Terrawatu Tanzania stories, you will know we have become an official candidate to create the Simanjiro Savory Hub in Tanzania.

We are all here this week to see what is possible, how we can make a MAJOR contribution to solving many of our world’s biggest problems - from poverty to unwanted immigration.

The Simanjiro Savory Hub is more than a project—it’s a
partnership with Maasai communities in northern Tanzania to regenerate their grasslands, preserve indigenous ways of life and create lasting change.

If you would like to learn more, watch our video, and how you can support us, do go to the link in my bio.

Allan Savory’s 90th birthday is next week! 🎉

For six decades, his work has changed how we see—and regenerate—the land beneath our feet. From the savannahs of Africa to ranches and farms in every corner of the globe, Allan’s insights have helped tens of thousands of people regenerate their soils, their communities, and their hope for the future.

To honor his legacy, we’re launching the Allan Savory Scholarship Fund, making Holistic Management training accessible to land stewards everywhere, regardless of their means.

Here’s how you can join us:
 🌱 Give $90 to celebrate Allan’s 90th.
 🌱 Your gift will both honor his life’s work and seed this brand-new scholarship fund (launching in 2026.)

Celebrate Allan. Invest in the next generation.
