IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN ON
IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDING OUR
NATIONAL MAMMAL ON NATIONAL
FOREST LANDS! <br>
<br>
Dear Wild Buffalo Advocate, <br>
<br>
Buffalo Field Campaign is
gathering signatures in support
of listing America’s last wild
buffalo as a species of
conservation concern on National
Forest lands. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0,

<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px;">The
Custer Gallatin National Forest
is revising its forest plan and
has released a proposed action
for buffalo that is open for
public comment. <br>
<br>
The Custer Gallatin’s proposed
action for buffalo is to let the
state of Montana define where
buffalo can and cannot roam
National Forest lands. Under
“state-approved tolerance
zones,” buffalo are excluded
from roaming hundreds of
thousands of acres of National
Forest habitat.<br>
<br>
The Custer Gallatin’s decision
to cede its authority to manage
buffalo and their habitat to
Montana is in conflict with the
U.S. Congress’s mandate to
provide diversity on National
Forests. <br>
<br>
Fencing schemes that disrupt
buffalo’s natural migrations and
connectivity to habitat,
livestock grazing allotments
that displace buffalo from their
home ranges, and state
intolerance, threaten the
viability and diversity of
buffalo – a native keystone
species.<br>
<br>
In response, Buffalo Field
Campaign has prepared a report
in support of Region 1 and the
Custer Gallatin National Forest
listing American bison as a
species of conservation concern.
<br>
<br>
Gaining recognition as a species
of conservation concern is a
step towards protecting the
diversity and viability of
American bison and their habitat
on National Forest lands.<br>

species to continuously roam
their native habitat in the
United States. <br>
