Montana Diversity

NPR's Alex Chadwick visits northern Montana where the biodiversity is much like it was throughout North America before European settlers moved West. While there used to be millions of Bison roaming the plains and forests in Montana, their numbers dwindled to less than two dozen at one point. But conservation efforts have succeeded in restoring populations of this and other threatened species.
