An American Prairie Preserve!

A vast preserve of praire ecosystem was first envisioned by artist George Caitlin (1796-1872). Caitlin first traveled among the plains Indians with General William Clark in 1830 when he accompanied a diplomatic mission up the Mississippi River into Native American territory. Caitlin's paintings characterize the Native Americans. He advocated that the Great Plains be set aside as a "nation's park," a great expanse of prairie where buffalo, pronghorn and Native Americans could live, roam and preserve their lifestyle and culture. Now the American Prarie Foundation is advocating create and manage a prairie-based wildlife reserve in a large area of Montana. See what E.O. Wilson author of "Biophilia" "The Diversity of Life" and many other books has to say about the preserve. http://www.americanprairie.org/
