Dwayne Estes在“草原倡议”发表讲话

道恩·埃斯蒂斯博士.D.

生物学教授

当博士. Estes founded the Southeastern Grasslands Initiative, he wanted to lead environmental 改变. Now, as Tennessee’s Conservationist of the Year, he’s well on his way to restoring 一些世界上最濒危的栖息地.

“This initiative is an attempt to restore bits and pieces of this ecosystem that we’ve lost over the last 200 years…The explorers who described (southeastern) prairies in the 1790s, they described buffalo and prairie chickens—things we don’t have any more. You have to remember, it was originally grassland for thousands and thousands of years 在我们到达这里之前.”
