Self Herding is a behaviour-based livestock management system that allows landscape managers to alter animal behaviour, influence the distribution of animals, improve landscape use, and implement more sustainable rangelands management practices. Changing the behaviour of wild and domestic animals fundamentally redirects the continued co-evolution of ecosystems. The applied tools, techniques and tactics employed in Self Herding are integrated to provide simultaneous ecological, social and economic benefits. Using active interventions to modify behaviours initiates changes in both repetitive and operant habits of the animals. Here we describe the general principles of Self Herding, some of the basic operating methods and three scenarios where it has been used to influence the distribution of grazing animals, accelerate the repair of eroded streambeds and help to reduce stock losses due to predation from feral predators. We encourage more land stewards to explore different uses of behavioural management, including Self Herding, and encourage rangeland scientists to critically examine its efficacy in applied field conditions as an avenue for improved large-scale rangeland landscape function.
