👉 The Prairie Project is an initiative aimed at restoring and preserving the native tallgrass prairie ecosystem across North America. This vast grassland, once covering over 200 million acres, has been significantly reduced due to agricultural expansion and urban development. The project focuses on re-establishing native plant species, such as big bluestem and switchgrass, while also promoting sustainable land management practices. It involves collaboration between government agencies, non-profit organizations, and local communities to create protected areas, implement restoration techniques, and educate the public about the ecological importance of prairies. By doing so, the Prairie Project seeks to enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and mitigate climate change impacts, ultimately aiming to reverse the degradation of this critical ecosystem.
