(221017) -- MOLEPOLOLE (BOTSWANA), Oct. 17, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Tlotlo Phuduhudu, founder of Healthy Delights company, shows some of the livestock feeds produced using indigenous trees, plant by-products, and crop residue in Molepolole, Botswana, on Sept. 20, 2022. Livestock farmers in Botswana are often blamed for preventing the regeneration of trees and thereby contributing to the degradation of hill slopes, rangelands, and riparian areas due to overgrazing. However, 26-year-old Tlotlo Phuduhudu from the Molepolole village, some 60km west of Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, is slowly but surely changing such a trend through her indigenous trees fodder.
