America’s grasslands are some of the most important – and overlooked – landscapes in the country. They feed us, filter our water, replenish our soil, and support iconic wildlife like the American bison.
But these vital ecosystems are disappearing fast. Recent findings from World Wildlife Fund’s Plowprint Report show that nearly 2 million acres of Great Plains grasslands were converted in 2022 alone, with cropland being the main driver of loss.
Protecting these landscapes is essential for the stability of our food and water supplies, the livelihoods of farmers and ranchers, and the long-term health of this important ecosystem.
Thanks for everything you do.
