Canada’s native grasslands are disappearing at an alarming rate — in fact, they are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. A collaboration between the Nature Conservancy of Canada and Ducks Unlimited Canada, along with a collection of ranchers, the film seeks to showcase how cattle continue to create hope on what’s left of these iconic landscapes for the plant and animal species that call them home.
