Narrator, Tom Selleck.America's Great Plains wee once a vibrant grassland ecosystem, akin to the great savannahs of Africa. Here, a mere 200 years ago, Lewis and Clark stepped onto this fertile landscape and were awestruck by what they saw -- herds of bison, packs of wolves, grizzly bears, prairie dogs and more. Since Lewis and Clark's time, many of these iconic prairie creatures have all but disappeared. Now, one of the most ambitious conservation projects in American history is underway to create a thriving three million acre wildlife reserve that will restore "America's Serengeti."Not rated.DVD; region 1; Dolby digital 5.1, stereo.; widescreen.

Reaching the summit ; The empire strikes out ; Lost and found ; Image and reality -- Of hot spots and hooters. Thinking like Aldo ; They never saw it coming ; The Polar bear express -- Waiting for Thoreau. A plum in the wood basket ; Bees and trees ; Your land is my land -- Lone wolves. Andy Frank and the power of the plug ; Can a Malibu pool cleaner save the world? ; The turtle lady ; Wild man.The story of the remarkable visionaries who have quietly dedicated their lives and their fortunes to saving the planet from ecological destruction. While many people remain paralyzed by the scope of Earth's environmental woes, eco barons--a new and largely unheralded generation of Rockefellers and Carnegies--are having spectacular success saving forests and wildlands, pulling endangered species back from the brink, and pioneering the clean and green technologies needed if life and civilization are to endure. Journalist Humes tells of the former fashion magnate who has saved more rainforests than any other person, the college professor who patented the plug-in hybrid car, the impoverished owl wranglers who founded the nation's most effective environmental group, and the former Hollywood pool cleaner who became the guiding force behind a worldwide effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This book proves that one person with determination and vision can make a difference.--From publisher description.
