Restoring and Protecting Habitat in the Kootenay River Ranch
Grassland habitat is disappearing across North America. This once abundant ecosystem is being lost due to increasing agricultural demands and intensifying urban sprawl, threatening the survival of the plant and animal species that rely on it. Besides providing habitat, grasslands offer a number of ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, erosion control, and food for grazing animals – which is why it’s so important we protect them.
