Southern Plains Land Trust

Mission

IT IS OUR MISSION TO CREATE AND PROTECT A NETWORK OF SHORTGRASS PRAIRIE PRESERVES TO ENSURE A FUTURE FOR ALL NATIVE ANIMALS AND PLANTS. Despite being one of the largest and most unique biomes in the world, shortgrass prairie is also among the most threatened habitats in North America, with 50% already lost due to human development. Just 150 years ago, immense herds of bison millions-strong roamed the Southern Plains, prairie dog colonies spanned hundreds of square miles, and pronghorn and elk teemed across the shortgrass prairie. We want this biodiversity and abundant wildlife back. So far, we’ve protected over 60,000 acres in our preserve network, providing urgently needed refuge to a wide variety of native grassland animals and plants. Piece by piece, we are restoring the American Serengeti.
