One person can make a difference.

Water from Stone: almost 50 years ago, fried chicken tycoon David Bamberger used his fortune to purchase 5,500 acres of overgrazed land in the Texas Hill Country. Planting grasses to soak in rains and fill hillside aquifers, Bamberger devoted the rest of his life to restoring the degraded landscape.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSPkcpGmflE

Monika Maeckle: "So, where is the Texas Butterfly Ranch? I like to say it’s a state of mind.  In my case, the geographic collective of Austin, San Antonio and the Hill Country. On these pages we hope to educate, inspire and explore the life cycle we  all share by focusing on butterflies in all their stages–from egg to  caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly.  We’ll also look at host plants,  because without them, the life cycle wouldn’t be possible."
