Geographic Issue
• The Tallgrass Prairie once covered 6,000 km² in Manitoba, and is now only located in several small reserves. (less than 1% of former size)
• Agriculture, urbanization, and industrialization have made it one of the most endangered ecosystems on earth
• The remnants of the region are important for migrating animals and pollinators, so it is important that no more harm is done
