Agricultural activities such as planned livestock grazing are proving to be beneficial for maintenance of native rangeland in Saskatchewan. Municipalities and landowners that permit subdivision of native prairie for acreages may be benefiting momentarily in the short term, but the biological community and agricultural community will suffer in the long term. Loss of both agricultural land and native prairie habitat are serious modern day land management issues. Native prairie is one of the most endangered ecosystems in Canada. It is also home to the majority of species listed as Canada's endangered species.
Fragmentation of habitat is a significant issue.

In fact I would go one step further and say that it is a conflict with sustaining Man's existence on planet Earth. But please keep in mind that Man is suicidal by nature. He is programmed to exploit the land for economic gain. I've been trying to shake people out of their state of denial for nearly thirty years with little success.
