Endangered Species Act- Take Action!
Sign the Online Petition

TAKE ACTION!
TELL THE U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE TO PROTECT WILD BISON UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT!


Please contact the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service today!  Let them know you support James Horsley's petition.  Urge them to grant Endangered Species Act protections to the Yellowstone bison, and strongly encourage them to reconsider their current position not to protect wild bison and their habitat under the Endangered Species Act. 

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's finding (PDF, 100kb) is deficient and lacking serious scientific consideration of the full range of threats that imperil the wild American bison's survival. The agency must be encouraged to gather and use the “best available science” when making their decision. Please help identify important and substantial information that clearly demonstrates that the last wild bison, those remaining in Yellowstone, and their native, historic range, deserve protection under the Endangered Species Act. Include any information you feel is important to the history and future of wild bison in America. Submit stories, maps, books, papers - any information we can submit to help U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service realize that the Yellowstone herd is, indeed, endangered, and deserving of Endangered Species Act protection.

INFORMATION YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE:
* Scientific, legal, historical, literary articles and books.
* Indigenous story lines on bison occupying the Plains and Mountain ecosystems in the Greater Yellowstone region.
* Video, audio and photos.
* Population surveys, habitat maps, genetic and biological data.
* Petitions, letters, faxes, emails, and phone calls of support to the USFWS can make a difference for America's last wild bison!

WILD BISON NEED INDIGENOUS SUPPORT!
In it's finding, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ignored cultural significance and the life role of bison to North America's indigenous people. First Nations must be heard. Help us fill in the story lines of yesterday! Indigenous cultures who evolved and coexisted with the bison can make a unique contribution, helping fill in the many gaps that still exist, by sharing stories, songs, and indigenous knowledge of the bison's ancestral landscape and significance, what the people and the land have suffered in their absence, and what their return would mean.
