Goats can be reintroduced in the Himalayan hills to help mitigate forest fires. The population of goat grazers has declined significantly, which may be one of the contributing factors to the increasing incidents of forest fires in the region. -

Brilliant. We simply have to stop using pesticides. They’re killing us. The use of goats is no-brainer as our ancestors knew. Thankyou Lani for bringing this so intelligently to the 21st century. -

I lived in the California Bay Area for 20 years, where I was introduced to the use of goats for weed and brush management throughout the regional parks. Incredibly successful there, and I'm really glad this practice is starting to spread to other parts of the country. Lani Malmberg really knows her goats and science. TEDTalk, Lani, TEDTalk, if you haven't already! Everyone in this video inspired me because they are all willing to turn away from ecologically disastrous use of pesticides. -
