The main principle of building an Animal-Built Embankment (ABE) is that it may be made using resources available to local farmers. ABE uses farm animals, specifically carabaos and cows, instead of tractors in its construction. The tools needed to construct an animal-built embankment are generally available in any local farmers’ arsenal. ABE makes use of wooden animal-drawn scrapers instead of other mechanical tools.
