LETTING THE BUFFALO ROAM
Tens of millions of bison once thundered across much of North America, helping shape the landscape and keeping grasslands healthy.
Now the Yellowstone bison -- some of the last wild bison in North America -- face slaughter. As they leave the park's boundaries in search of winter feeding grounds, they are either hazed back into the park to possible starvation or shipped off to slaughter. This winter alone, a record number of bison -- more than 1,300 -- were killed by federal and Montana state officials.
Defenders is working to end to this modern-day bison slaughter by collaborating with state and federal officials to develop a more science-based bison management policy. We're also working to ensure that the buffalo can once again roam on thousands of acres of national forests and other public lands.
