I live half way around the world but grew up watching majestic buffalo herds thundering across the plains. It seemed that every time we watched any movies or documentaries about the US there were these iconic buffalo on the screen running free. That was what America stood for - freedom...for all who live there. Without BFC this would not be possible. The DOL and other interests are very powerful but the American public are more powerful and BFC has managed to garner much support to save an American icon. Thankyou BFC for your vision and passion to preserve what is uniquely yours.

No other group is in the field every day in defense of the last wild buffalo population in the U.S. They are working to stop the the slaughter of Yellowstone's wild bison because each animal lost is a tragedy for our nation. There were 1631 buffalos killed in 2007 and last year 29 in 2011. They continue to fight to keep the wild free-roaming bison in their natural habitat despite all the numerous obstacles from the government.

The BFC volunteers are courageous folks who deserve some help. This non-profit operates on a shoestring budget to protect the last remaining buffalo herd in the U.S. I'm 67 years old and it would be so satisfying to know that long after I'm gone the buffalo will remain for generations and generations that come after me to enjoy. Like so many other endangered species we need to protect the bison and with the help of BFC that is being accomplished.

The only group that is fighting against the US Government and the Montana DOL & livestock interests that believe they trump wildlife interests. BFC shows America how our tax dollars are being misused. It is hard to believe how these wild free roaming majestic animals can be abused and mistreated by the same government and officials that are charged with protecting them. Go BFC, I will keep on supporting your efforts, and I thank them for it.

For many years I worked in another small conservation nonprofit in Montana and interacted regularly with many other conservation groups across the country, both large and small. I remain continually impressed with BFC's commitment to adhering to a core set of principles in how they conduct their work. Too many other conservation groups are willing to chase political expediency in order to claim hollow victories or allow funders to control and shape their missions and strategies. BFC has consistently remained true to its principles and puts its volunteers out there on the ground year-round. Several years ago a colleague of mine in one of the D.C.-based Big Greens led an effort to create national legislation to protect the Yellowstone bison. The bill had numerous congressional co-sponsors signed on. But at the 11th hour a number of other Big Greens withdrew their support thereby killing the bill. The reason? They believe there is only room for a certain number of green bills in Congress at one time, so they decided amongst themselves which ones would be their priorities and the excellent bison bill was one that they then dumped. This illustrates the difference between emphasizing politics over principle. Unlike some, BFC has never turned its back on the bison and consistently continues bearing witness to this beautiful animal's plight.

AS a volunteer myself trying to save endangered sea turtles, I have so much respect for what BFC does to protect our wonderful buffalo. Documenting the injustices against these iconic creatures and educating the public of these injustices is so important in creating change..I look forward to reading my BFC newsletter in keeping me abreast of whats happening in the wild lands thousands of mile from my home..makes me feel like Im a part of their cause. I only wish I could be there with them..they are an inspiration in a time of challenges for all of our wildlife..I pray that their mission is someday successful...buffalo will once a gain roam free..without BFC, I dont think it would be even a possibility. BRAVO BFC!!!

Buffalo Field Campaign is the only group working in the field 24/7 to document the cruel treatment of the last surviving free buffalo herd in the world. Cattle interests in Montana pressure the government to haze the buffalo out of their historic calving grounds before and during calving causing stress, i njury and even death. Buffalo Field Campaign is all volunteer and supported by donations. They are definitely a great nonprofit who could benefit a great deal from additional financial assistance as recognition for their dedication.

Buffalo Field Campaign is a group of very dedicated people working tirelessly 24/7 documenting the cruel treatment and heavy-handed tactics of government agencies against America's iconic wild bison. Their work is to make the general public aware of the plight of Yellowstone's wild bison and the need to protect this ecologically endangered species. I'm so glad that Buffalo Field Campaign is out there, letting government agencies know that they're being closely watched of their cruel treatment of America's genetically pure, wild bison.

Operating on a shoe-string budget, Buffalo Field Campaign has done a tremendous job of protecting our last free-roaming wild bison. I truly admire Buffalo Field Campanign's passion, perseverence and courage. They have a wonderful website with a wealth of information about the buffalo and the organisation's uphill battle with the US government and the cattle industry. I think the US government is so un-american to kill off a very american icon, the bison.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
They are friendly, informative and passionate about their cause. They do not pressure for donations and when they do receive a donation, I would always receive a personal email thanking me for the donation or sometimes I would receive a postcard.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Provide a home where the buffalo would roam freely and the cowboys and their cattle will ride into the sunset.

BUFFALO FIELD CAMPAIGN is one of the most dedicated and deserving groups out there, fighting to protect and save our heritage, the American bison, from the constant assault and destruction they are subjected to by monied and influential interests. They are #1 in my book!

I've never met a group of more dedicated, kind-hearted souls. After just a few days as a volunteer in West Yellowstone, I felt at home, surrounded by folks who were passionate about the buffalo.The spirit and energy of the campaign, while met with daily challenges, remains strong. They take care of their volunteers as well as the buffalo. The organization has been at it for a very long time, and it shows.
