We are hoping some of the $350 million dollars for wildlife crossings could be allocated to the Buffalo Wildlife Bridge. It would not only provide safe crossing for wildlife but also safe passage for the 4.4 million visitors to Yellowstone National Park every year.

"Anyone who has lived in the Mountain West long enough has probably had a near miss with a deer or elk on a roadway – or been unlucky and hit one. Vehicle-animal collisions injure about 26,000 people a year and cause at least $8 billion in damages nationwide, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts. Now, state and federal officials are increasingly looking to reduce those costly accidents. They want to invest in more wildlife crossings on highways to limit collisions between vehicles and animals."

Thanks for helping save the Yellowstone bison. They are the last wild buffalo and our national mammal. And most importantly an endangered climate keystone species that is sacred to the Native Americans.

Spread the word, to save the herd!
