3. Soil conservation: Healthy grasslands with diverse plant species help to prevent soil erosion by holding soil in place with their deep root systems, which can penetrate up to 10 feet deep. They also improve soil quality by increasing organic matter & soil nutrients.

2. Biodiversity: Grasslands are home to a diverse array of plant & animal species, many of which are threatened or endangered. The North American prairie once supported vast herds of bison, but today less than 1% of the original grassland remains.

When the fires came and swallowed whole towns, we did nothing. Now, we have floods. Will we continue trying to solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them or will we wake up?
