How Bison are Saving America's Lost Prairie

The video explores the role of bison in restoring the Tall Grass Prairie ecosystem in Oklahoma. It covers the history of the prairie, the decline due to European settlement, and the restoration efforts led by The Nature Conservancy. Bison, reintroduced in 1993, play a crucial role in maintaining the prairie through grazing. The video also highlights the importance of fire in prairie ecosystems and suggests that managing cattle like bison could aid global grassland restoration. The experiment offers insights into ecosystem management and the preservation of natural landscapes.
