martinezlaura+FollowBison are back: Chicago’s wild prairie comebackSeeing bison roam Illinois prairies again is something most of us never expected in our lifetimes. Yet, just a decade after their reintroduction at Nachusa Grasslands, Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, and Kankakee Sands, these herds are not only thriving—they’re transforming the landscape. Bison grazing and wallowing create habitats for birds, insects, and even amphibians, helping restore the prairie’s natural balance. Their return is also a powerful reminder of the deep cultural ties Indigenous communities have with these animals. If you’ve visited these sites, what was your experience like? How do you feel about bison shaping our local wild spaces again? #Science #BisonBack #ChicagoPrairie00Share
Arthur Booker+FollowBuffalo Are Back—But Not Just for BurgersDid you know tribes in Wyoming want to treat buffalo more like wild animals and less like cows? Instead of raising them just for meat, they’re pushing for bison to roam free again, helping the land and supporting local wildlife. This move could shake up how we think about food, the environment, and even tribal rights. Imagine seeing herds of buffalo on the plains, not just on your dinner plate! #BisonBack #EcoLifehacks #TribalVoices #WildlifeWins #Business132Share
