Scenarios about 'buffalo commons'
The Buffalo Commons is a proposed ecological restoration project to create a vast nature preserve by returning large portions of the Great Plains to their pre-agricultural state. This concept, introduced by Frank and Deborah Popper in 1987, envisions reintroducing bison and native prairie species to address rural depopulation and ecological degradation in America's heartland. The proposal represents an alternative vision for land use in regions facing agricultural challenges, climate change concerns, and shifting economic realities.
