Conservation
Conserving native prairie not only
conserves plant and animal species, it also provides direct benefits to the
human inhabitants of the prairies. These benefits include good quality
water, aesthetic and recreational opportunities, soil protection and a gene
pool available for future medical and agricultural uses.
