<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I like the effort to use invasive thorn trees as a charcoal input material. There is a large problem with thornveld encroachment in SW Botswana and across the border in RSA. It is the result of
inappropriate cattle management in the past. What once was vast open grazing is now a vast thicket of thorns. The problem has been arrested using holistic veld management measures, but the trees are now covering the space.
