ABOUT US
We are asking for your help in convincing national, state, county, and municipal agencies and organizations to accept the reestablishment of one of America’s great national symbols. In the 1800’s there were 60 million free ranging buffalo on America’s Great Plains and in its mountains. These massive animals were the main sustenance of the American Plains Indians. Due to massive slaughter by European settlers, by 1890 there were fewer than 1,000 buffalo. By 1902, there were only 23 buffalo left in Yellowstone National Park (YNP). This herd has now grown to more than 4,000 buffalo.
