South Dakota Series: Our Amazing Grasslands

"There's a real quality of life to living here in the west. And a lot of it is because of our open spaces, and to see young people realize that and hold that as valuable is really encouraging to me. Talking to Karlie, you talk about not just the biodiversity of grasslands, but there's a natural system here. They're self-containing and functional, and that's the beauty of ranches. We're producing food and fiber on the landscape but doing it in a way that's as sustainable as any system can be. And what it does is it keeps our biodiversity and our natural systems together, which is great for wildlife and open spaces, clean air, clean water, everything that we're always looking for." - Mitch Faulkner

• Series: Taking a Stand for Grasslands

• More than half the native grasslands in the U.S. have been permanently lost, and in recent decades grassland bird populations have followed suit. While these vital habitats might always not get as much attention as forests and wetlands, countless are groups working to restore, protect, and manage grasslands throughout the Great Plains. The Cornell Lab's Center for Conservation Media was invited by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Northern Great Plains Program to create four short films highlighting the people on the front lines in the campaign to reverse declines in this ecoregion. Learn more, watch the films, and share.
