The grassy view of a prairie stretches out forever! Although it only looks that way, large grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica. The grassland biome may be called by different names, such as savannas or steppes, but they're found all over the globe. Learn about the geography and resources of the grassland biome as well as how animals and people have adapted to and impacted grassland environments. Explore this biome's future and what people can do to help keep it safe.
