How do emissions from cattle compare to emissions from wild herbivores in a similar landscape and environment?
A team of researchers recently studied two sets of animals in the Serengeti region of Tanzania to find out.
The project compared calculated emissions from animals in a wildlife-dominated savannah to those in an adjacent land with similar ecological characteristics but under pastoralism.
The results, published in a just-released paper, showed strong similarities in the greenhouse gas emissions from both sets of animals.
On average the wildlife area showed similar GHG…
