Speak Out to Conserve and Restore Grassland Habitat

Southern plains bumble bees were once abundant across the grasslands and prairies east of the Rocky Mountains, but populations of these pollinators have sharply declined - largely due to habitat loss and degradation. The North American Grasslands Conservation Act would protect and restore the crucial grassland habitat that many pollinators and other wildlife like pronghorn, elk, and sage-grouse rely on.

Tell your members of Congress to fully support and help pass the North American Grasslands Conservation Act, H.R. 9945.

I am counting on you to take up a crucial effort to conserve and restore America’s grasslands—one of North America’s fastest disappearing ecosystems. The North American Grasslands Conservation Act, H.R. 9945, was just introduced in the House and needs bipartisan support to move this important solution forward.

More than 50 million acres of grassland have been lost in the last 10 years alone. These habitats are needed to support pollinators and pollination, prevent erosion, and provide food and cover for the wildlife that I care about. Healthy native grasses also filter sediment, nutrients, and bacteria that would otherwise end up in waterways, threatening fish and drinking water.

This legislation would provide funding needed to restore and conserve what remains of America’s grasslands while creating a program that would work with private landowners, whose farms and ranches are critical to thriving ecosystems. The Act would establish a grant program designed to provide landowners with voluntary, flexible economic incentives and opportunities to help improve and conserve our disappearing grasslands.

Please support the new, bipartisan North American Grasslands Conservation Act, and champion its advancement through committee and floor votes. Thank you in advance for helping to save our rapidly disappearing prairies, savannas, glades and sagebrush lands – and the wildlife that depend on them for survival.

Sincerely,
