Description
The American Buffalo delves into over 10,000 years of North American history, exploring the evolution and significance of buffalo to Native American people on the Great Plains and highlighting the near-extinction of the American buffalo, driven by factors such as the buffalo robe trade, westward expansion, diseases, and drought. The second episode follows a diverse group, including Theodore Roosevelt and Charles Goodnight, in their efforts to rescue the species from extermination, showcasing the remarkable capacity to reverse environmental damage when collective action is taken.
