Savory Hub Gathering in Portugal
Lao had the privilege of attending the recent annual gathering of Savory Hub Leaders in beautiful Portugal, where passionate individuals from all corners of the globe came together for five incredible days.
Picture this: networking sessions buzzing with energy, captivating events, enlightening field trips, engaging group discussions, and a remarkable exchange of ideas. It was a gathering like no other, where diversity thrived alongside a shared passion for land stewardship. Our attendees represented every habitable continent, demonstrating the global impact of our collective efforts.
Imagine being part of a network that manages over 20 million hectares of land worldwide and influences even more! The dedication and commitment of these incredible leaders was awe-inspiring. They are the true driving force behind the
Savory Institute mission.
To gain a glimpse into the breadth and depth of this decentralized yet tightly knit community, we invite you to visit the Savory Institute webpage at https://savory.global/our-network/. You'll discover a world of passionate land stewards, and chances are, you'll find someone near you who shares your values and dedication!

As we approach the winter and long dry season, we want to share some exciting updates with you. In preparation for this challenging period, we have taken proactive measures by creating firebreaks throughout the Conservancy. The success of the previous years, coupled with a wetter season than usual, has resulted in abundant grass growth. While this is a blessing, it also brings concerns as we head into the windy and dry winter months.
At present, predators continue to pose a significant problem in our lives. Regrettably, we lost two calves to predation over the weekend. The culprits once again were lions, whose social structures appear to be greatly affected due to the loss of two dominant males in the past year. This unnatural behavior is a cause for concern.
We would like to express our gratitude to two organizations whose contributions have been instrumental in the success of ACHM. Their support not only benefits our organization but also enhances the overall health and well-being of the surrounding ecosystems and communities we serve.
If you are interested in supporting our exciting work, we encourage you to consider making an ongoing investment or a one-time gift. Your contribution will play a vital role in our endeavors.
Until next time, may your grass grow tall and your rivers run deep.
Warm regards,
Lao and the ACHM Team

Wim Hof foundation supports ACHM!
We are extremely grateful to the Wim Hoff Foundation, a fundraising endeavor from within the Wim Hoff organisation for their incredibly generous support of ACHM!
Harnessing the potential of mind and environment is a common thread that connects two seemingly unrelated practices: The Wim Hof Method and Holistic Management. Both empower individuals to optimize their physical and mental well-being while emphasizing the interconnectedness of all systems. The Wim Hof Method employs breathwork and cold exposure to enhance vitality, while Holistic Management applies holistic decision-making to restore ecological balance. Together, they offer transformative pathways towards personal resilience and environmental stewardship, fostering harmony between self and nature.
