As a resident of NW Wyoming I have to agree with all of the comments made above, except by you, BirdDog. "Truth" is the correlation of a statement to reality. There is absolutely NOTHING real about this video, and I can say this having watched only the first couple of minutes.

In these few minutes they completely conflated open basin land with mountain foothills. First showing a lush set of foothills complete with aspens and pines, and then desert basin country covered with sagebrush. I frickin' well LIVE here and I can tell you that I have one heck of a time growing aspen trees in my backyard despite having raw water irrigation...because they don't grow well here. I'm at around 5,100 feet, they want to be at elevations of over 6,500. I'm on soil so basic that if fizzes if you put vinegar in it, they want the slightly acidic soils of mountains and foothills. There's a whole bunch of reasons you don't get stuff like that.

Why don't you do some research on what grazing ACTUALLY does in mountain foothills and savanna prairies? You'll find that when intensely grazed for a small portion of the year and then the herds moved on, that they actually INCREASE the amount of growth of the grasses and promote biodiversity. Read the studies on how the Serengeti was turning to desert after rinderpest wiped out the wildebeest and other grazing herds, and was then revitalized when the vaccine was developed, the domestic cattle herds vaccinated, and the wild animal herds came back with their seasonal grazing.

This story in no way, shape or means, "makes sense".
