The Anderson family is a multi-generational ranching operation in Tom Miner Basin, the grizzly bear corridor near Yellowstone National Park's northern boundary. Rather than dominate nature, the Andersons work to prevent predation of livestock by coexisting more harmoniously with wildlife. 
Malou has implemented holistic regenerative grazing management so that these grasslands become more abundant and draw down more carbon into the soil.
She discussed her personal relationship with the land describing peaceful partnerships, breaking down stereotypes within the ranching community, and how  to promote “shared landscapes” where livestock and predators co-exist to protect ecosystems.
