Today the largest remaining wild herd of American bison consists of only about 4,500 individuals.

Several Native American tribes are working with WWF to help restore bison to native lands. But before the bison can be fully reintroduced, they must be separated from other wildlife to ensure they are healthy.

Fort Peck tribes in northern Montana have established a quarantine site to host surplus Yellowstone bison to ensure that Yellowstone bison are free of disease.

North American tribes with strong cultural and spiritual ties to bison are natural partners in the restoration of this iconic North American species. For thousands of years, the plains bison provided food and shelter for tribal communities across the Northern Great Plains. Today, Native Americans have an opportunity to do the same for the bison in return.

Tell the National Park Service you support their Preferred Alternative to allocate surplus bison to Fort Peck for quarantine to ensure that these valuable bison contribute to conservation and cultural restoration efforts in North America.
