On this Earth Day 2024, we’re calling attention to the fact that America’s grasslands are vanishing at an alarming rate. These are the prairies, savannas, glades, and sage brush steppe lands in our own backyard communities. These ecosystems protect our waters, soils, and climate. And as this grassland habitat disappears, so do the wildlife populations dependent upon them. Today, more than two dozen conservation organizations have joined forces to underscore the importance of grasslands habitat conservation. Please visit MapForGrasslands.org to learn about the magnitude of impact this habitat loss has had on 15 iconic grassland-dependent wildlife species, ranging from birds to mammals and fish to insects. |
