Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is conducting a survey of Montanans to gauge support for wild, free ranging bison herds in the state. If you are a Montana citizen, click here to make your voice heard in favor of bringing back wild bison.

A new publication by IUCN, American Bison: Status Survey and Conservation Guidelines 2010, reports on the current status of American bison, in the wild and in conservation herds, and makes recommendations on how to ensure that the species is conserved for the future.  Learn more here.

“The next 10 to 20 years could be extremely significant for restoring wild populations of American bison to their original roaming grounds. But for this to happen, more land must be made available for herds to roam free, government policies must be updated and the public must change its attitude towards bison.”
