The IYRP North America Film Festival team recently called for short films (max. 10 min.) that tell the stories of North American rangelands and the people who live and work there. The selected films connected personal experiences to broader rangeland issues such as sustaining biodiversity, providing ecosystem services, producing livestock sustainably, and enhancing resilience to drought and climate change. The team invited submissions from both amateur filmmakers (students, producers, and other rangeland professionals) and professional filmmakers.

Canada’s native grasslands are disappearing at an alarming rate; they are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. This film – the result of collaboration between conservationists and local pastoralists (ranchers) – shows how cattle grazing still creates hope on what is left of these iconic landscapes for the plant and animal species that call them home.
