Creature Feature: Bison Return to Badlands

Their hooves have not touched the earth of the Dakota Badlands since 1877.  Thanks to the supporters of WWF, like US Person, the magnificent beasts and symbols of the West are back. They now have 22,553 additional acres to roam.  Badlands National Park has the second largest heard in the nation (~1200) after Yellowstone, which is becoming overcrowded and is in need of expansion.  The release is a beginning of an epic revitalization of the heartland on which 30 million buffalo once trod. Contributors raised $750,000 to build 43 miles of new fence that extends bison habitat in the park from 57,640 acres to 80,193 acres. We can do no less than restore 1 million of these animals, which man once needlessly slaughtered to near extinction, back into the wild.  Help us do that by donating to WWF's Northern Great Plains program.
