Area Grasslands are located in North America's interior (called [|prairies]), in southeastern South America, in Eurasia, in Africa (the semi-arid steppes) Africa and the wetter grasslands, veldts, of East Africa and Madagascar), and in Australia and New Zealand (called rangelands). Found around the equator and in the southern hemisphere.

Threats //__** Threats to ecosystem are:**// Fires,Over population of insects,Polution ,Poachers,too many carnivors and not enough prey, not enough water,no resorces over all and farmers using to much soil and wasting and letting their animals overgraze, Locust storms, global warming, sudden change in precipitation (from global warming), creation of cities(cutting down trees and grass to make cities), spreading disease and pests(growing only one crop or plant),//**

__ Solutions __

· Protect and restore wetlands, which are important to grasslands · Plant trees as windbreaks · Continue education efforts on how to protect the soil and prevent soil erosion · Rotate agricultural crops to prevent the sapping of nutrients · Conduct dry season burning to obtain fresh growth and to restore calcium to the soil that builds up in the dry grasses.
