Tens of millions of bison once roamed North America, shaping landscapes and nourishing ecosystems from the Great Plains to the Atlantic. Today, they're nearly gone – with only small, isolated herds surviving. A new study from Yellowstone National Park proves what Indigenous peoples have always known: when bison are allowed to migrate and graze freely, the entire ecosystem flourishes.
Sign the petition to demand funding for bison repopulation efforts and restore the balance they bring to our lands.
Researchers found that as bison move across the landscape, they enrich soil, increase plant diversity, and even boost nutrients for other herbivores by up to 150%. Their presence creates healthier habitats for countless species. This is living proof that restoring bison isn't just about the past – it's about securing a thriving future for our environment.
Indigenous leaders have long called for bison restoration, emphasizing that buffalo are central to both culture and ecology. This research validates that wisdom and shows us a path forward: reintroduce bison, expand their ranges, and fund programs that allow them to roam freely once more.
Together, we can ensure that younger generations inherit a world where bison are not a memory, but a living, thriving force of nature.
Sign the petition now to demand the U.S. government fund large-scale bison restoration, support Indigenous-led conservation, and rebuild these herds so they can once again roam, heal, and transform the land.
