“Tallgrass prairies that covered one third of the United States are reduced to less than 4 percent of their range. The shifting baseline syndrome means people see gradual changes only over their lifetime. Unless it is a recent event no one sees a missing wetland. The Earth we inhabit is accepted as normal because we lack a historical perspective.”
