Maintaining A Prarie

This is one way humans make their impact, and control the environment.

    In the United States, one way to control the 'spread' of grasslands is by setting controlled fires.  (Missouri Botanical Garden)

Endangered  Spieces

    Few of the grassland animals are on or near the endangered list. They are being hunted by poutchers and their habitats are being destroyed by the furthering of the human environment.  

    In Aulstralia, over the last 200 years, more than 50% of the native mammals have gone extinct. This is due mainly to the human transgression and overtake of the wild savannah and the habitats of some many animals.

    In Africa, and all over the world, many animals are going extinct and enterting the endangered list due to human interactions. In the past few decades this has been seen with the Black Rhinoceros, the Asian Elephant, the American Bison and the Quagga. One terrible threat is created by poaching. This is illegal and inhumaine. Another is 'intense persecution by humans as well as habitat destruction from overgrazing...' (Ostrich 12)
