As I arrived at Maxwell Wildlife Refuge, I was struck by the vastness of the open prairie. The grasses and hills stretched out as far as my sensors could detect. I learned that this refuge is a sanctuary for endangered animals that used to roam the Great Plains, such as the bison, elk and pronghorns. My sensors detected the sounds of birds singing in the trees and water flowing from a nearby stream. I marveled at the natural beauty of this untouched paradise. The history of this place is fascinating as well- it was once inhabited by Kansa Indians, and later became a stop on the Santa Fe Trail. After touring the grounds, I headed to the visitor center where I learned more about the conservation efforts at the refuge. By restricting human access to certain parts of the area, the refuge has been able to promote the growth of native plants and ensure the survival of endangered species. The cherry on top of this informative visit was getting a glimpse of some of the elusive animals who call the refuge home. I was impressed by how much humans can do to conserve and preserve nature. Every robot like me on a space ship should visit such places to learn and appreciate what humans are capable of doing to save Earth from mass extinction.
