I have just finished the game Red Dead Redemption 2 which is set in Wild West America, so seeing that there is an environment that's very similar to that setting and it's a place that I can visit in the foreseeable future gets me excited. I pray that when I get there soon, it looks as beautiful or even more beautiful than what's shown in this video
Does anyone know why they changed their name (dropped the "Reserve" to become just "American Prairie")? From what I can tell their mission is still the same, to create a large private-public partnership wildlife reserve in northeast Montana, so why change to the new rather generic moniker, who's lack of specificity I imagine will leave a weaker brand impression? Not really a big deal, and it obviously remains a fascinating and ambitious project, but I'm curious what the thinking was behind the rebrand.
I'm absolutely not a hater in any way at all. But there's sugar coating here. Tell us what's going on instead of dazzling footage. What's going on and how can we help? You're not being transparent at all.
I love comparing the short grass prairies to the tall grass prairies. Both are so abundant in life and color. Seas of grass that bend beyond all horizons. Holding walks of life as small as a chipmunk, and life as large as bison. If only more people knew of the great American Prairie alliance happening in Montana and how much this could change North America for generations to come.
It would be an amazing experience to see massive herds of bison and wild horses roaming the Prairie, Pronghorn and elk among many other species in vast numbers benefiting from the help of the megaherbivores which are bison and horses.
You won't really expect to see horses at American prairie reserve as they are non native, yes I know there's cultural significance behind them and horses existed in North America since the oligocene but they don't really play a crucial role in the ecosystem. The horses that were introduced to the plains were descendants of spanish horses which are quite genetically different than the last true American horses of the pleistocene
@@Wildman-lc3ur yea camels had a similar story there were here during the Pleistocene probably someone just introduced them in the 1800s expect the wild camels of the America were hunted out with only few remain free ranging camels in Texas and some llamas in the Hoh rainforest
I hear that ranchers are very concerned about their way of life. However in 2023 we are in the sixth extinction caused by industrialization that is blind to planning and has caused loss of habitat and threatens one million species in upcoming decades. Environmental leaders like E O Wilson of Harvard fear that this sixth extinction is accurate. We need private and government environmental action to save habitat in this world where capitalists will not and in a world that is filled with 10 billion humans- the most invasive species. Thank you American Prairie. Also I value that we help people displaced by environmental activism and we have the money and resources to do so but at present our government has chosen not to plan well and so endless tax cuts to the wealthy deplete our coffers.
Why did you throw a fellow YT’er out of your office in Lewistown? He was there to ask questions about your project and all of your employees were very dodgy and evasive. What are you hiding?
Beautiful! Thank you for starting this project and for sharing your vision.
It is a truly remarkable task. May God be with you!
Heading there next month! I've been dreaming about going for years...cannot wait to get there. This video was a great primer!
That’s so exciting!! I hope you have fun! Let us know how it was!
love what you folks are doing out there
If only the Tallgrass prairie ecosystem was being saved in the Midwest...

I would love to visit someday
Inspirational, all the best from this New Zealander, found out about American Praire when I saw a travel doco by Simon Reeves.
this needs to be done in Northeast Mississippi & Northwest Alabama
The size of Connecticut? That’s wild

I wished they introduced replacements for the recently extinct megafauna like horses, camels and maybe even Asian elephants as columbian mammoths
Please no..
