Instead of cutting the long grass with a lawn mower, here in Zambia poachers burn the grass in the dry season. They do this so that new green shoots will appear and draw wild game to the area. It’s quite crazy how big some of the fires get! It’s a fast way to get rid of the old and ready for the new but can cause major problems for farmers who have not set up fire barriers. Just another unique aspect of living in Zambia!
