American Prairie

[ysabetwordsmith]

Recently we talked about the butterfly apocalypse and the importance of restoring habitat. Some folks felt that small patches wouldn't be enough, which is partly true. So if you want to support really big wildlife refuges, here's one to consider. American Prairie is a large and growing nature reserve in Montana that functions by purchasing former ranchland and restoring it to a wild state.  I'm amused because it reminds me of tribal reservations in Terramagne growing by acquiring adjacent lands.  Here people are aiming to recreate the American Serengeti ... or as much as humans have left after wiping out the American cheetah and most of the other megafauna. So far they're working with pronghorns and buffalo.
