In 2004, an ex-Silicon Valley entrepreneur and his nonprofit, American Prairie Reserve, set out on a mission to create a bigger, better Yellowstone. Unlike typical U.S. national parks, this one would be privately funded and free to the public. To accomplish this, American Prairie Reserve has been buying up ranches in East Montana, removing the cows, and replacing them with animals that would have been present in the area centuries ago before white settlers moved in, like wild bison, grizzly bears, wolves, and pronghorn. Nate Hegyi, a Pulitzer Center grantee and reporter with the Mountain West News Bureau, spent two weeks during summer 2019 living out of his truck and talking to all the stakeholders: ranchers, hunters, biologists, conservationists, and residents of the Fort Belknap and Fort Peck Indian Reservations. The end result is a nuanced and character-driven story t. (by Nate Hegyi)

It is a well-known fact that we inherit physical traits from our parents. If a child is left-handed, it is very likely that one of her parents writes with his or her left hand. If a boy’s father is bald, he will have a greater chance of going bald when he gets older. While everyone knew that physical traits were inherited, it wasn’t until the twentieth century that scientists discovered the biological key to this process: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. Finding DNA took almost 100 years. Now scientists are working to decode the DNA molecule. To do this, they must “read” each of the over 3 billion DNA letters in the human body. This decoding of human DNA, also known as the human genome 2 project, will result in a map of the DNA in the human body. As former U.S. President Clinton said, “Without a doubt, this is the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind.” (From the book of “Language & Life Sciences: Mapping the Human Genome”)
