Pummeled by a century of drought, depopulation, and soil erosion, America's Great Plains are in dire straits. With farms closing left and right, large parts of the region now have about the population they had in frontier days. Frank and Deborah Popper have a solution: create a Buffalo Commons by returning 139,000 square miles in ten states to prairie and reintroducing the buffalo that once roamed there.
