Tell Montana: Let the Bison Roam!
Jonathan Proctor, Defenders of Wildlife
The state of Montana will soon make a decision that is critical to bison recovery around Yellowstone National Park.
Tell Montana to do the right thing.
For years, Yellowstone's wild bison have been restricted to a small and inadequate amount of habitat in and around Yellowstone National Park — and now they desperately need more room to roam!
One of the current proposals would open additional large areas of public lands in Southwestern Montana year-round to Yellowstone bison. Because bison are regularly rounded up and sent to slaughter when they roam outside the national park, providing these new lands is critical to ending this terrible policy and allowing for their full recovery.
Montana is accepting comments now through September 13th on the proposal to expand wild bison habitat outside of Yellowstone National Park.
The bison is one of America's most iconic animals. Vast herds once carpeted the Great Plains before they were hunted to the brink of extinction. The return of bison is one of the great American conservation success stories — but it's a story that is unfinished.
Yellowstone Bison Need More Room to Roam!
This is our chance to open critical new habitat for bison.
Tell MT to make room for Yellowstone Bison!
Thank you for all you have done for our beloved bison.
Sincerely,
