Populate the American Prairie and similar regional lands elsewhere with 
low-input, sustainably-grown grass-fed buffalo and bison.  Harvest to 
control populations as needed; market meat within each region - profits 
get plowed back into the willdcrafted, sustainably-grown,
sustainably-harvested native livestock production system.
