Ep. 32: Loving the Plains, Hating the Plains, Rewilding the Plains | The American West

About this episode

The episode discusses the historical neglect of the Great Plains in conservation efforts and the new approaches to restoring its ecosystem.

While conservation focused national parks creation on the vertical mountains and canyons of the West, the Great Plains ended up de-buffaloed and mostly ignored. But with new, 21st century approaches to reversing that historical slight, the Plains Serengeti is on its way back. Subscribe now wherever you listen to podcasts.
