Bring Back the Buffalo!: A Sustainable Future for America's Great Plains Paperback - 2007

by Ernest Callenbach


From the publisher

With a new epilogue

Though the Plains have been in economic and population decline since the twenties, they are actually within closer reach of vibrant ecological sustainability than any other region of the country. This visionary book offers a constructive alternative to the decline of cattle ranching, depletion of underground water, and dependency on outside energy sources. It shows how bringing back the hardy, majestic bison and using the region's winds to generate power are keys to renewed economic and social health for Plains communities.

First line

For more than ten centuries the bison, elk, deer, and pronghorn played in grasslands that covered what we now label as a dozen states, over which they ranged freely as forage and browse and water sources drew them.

From the rear cover

Though the Plains have been in economic and population decline since the twenties, they are actually within reach of vibrant ecological sustainability. This visionary book offers a constructive alternative to the deterioration of cattle ranching, depletion of underground water, and dependency on outside energy sources. It shows how bringing back the hardy, majestic bison and using the region's winds to generate power are keys to renewed economic and social health for Plains communities. A new epilogue reviews recent efforts towards these goals.
