Review for Buffalo Field Campaign, West Yellowstone, MT, USA
I've been following Buffalo Field Campaign efforts to protect wild bison in their habitat for about five years. What impresses me is how these committed volunteers maintain their cool, candor, and compassion under all circumstances. When BFC isn't patrolling the migratory routes on behalf of bison bulls, cows and calves, who are perpetually hazed, run ragged, darted, drugged, and slaughtered, they're attending meetings, lobbying, writing policy papers, educating the public, providing objective facts, and countering self-serving lies (about brucellosis, for example) that cattle ranchers and hunters tell in their war on these beautiful beasts of the plains and forests.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
understanding the issues surrounding the last of the wild bison herd in the United States and being able to share my understanding with others.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
find a way to increase the number of volunteers and donors, so that word of the bison's plight could be extended, and public pressure could be brought to bear on government agencies whose officials are too readily influenced by wealthy ranchers and hunters and other self-interested parties.
