| PHOTOGRAPH BY LOUISE JOHNS | | Home on the range: Free-roaming American buffalo—descendants of the original herd—will be reintroduced to their native Blackfeet Nation tribal lands. This conservation effort is a landmark step for buffalo (pictured above by Nat Geo Explorer Louise Johns), which were nearly slaughtered to extinction about 150 years ago. “I can’t hardly describe the feeling that I have. I have this jittery feeling, goosebumps,” the director of the Blackfeet Nation Buffalo Program tells Nat Geo.
