Take Action! Contact Decision Makers:

Buffalo Field Campaign encourages you to contact decision makers to let them know how you feel about the lack of accountability and the broken promises made in the taxpayer funded Royal Teton Ranch land deal to provide a "safe haven for the bison." Senator Max Baucus was instrumental in securing $13,000,000 in funding to acquire and conserve wildlife habitat on the Royal Teton Ranch in the Gardner Basin, critical winter range for migrating bison.

U.S. Representative Nick J. Rahall, II and U.S. Representative Maurice Hinchey requested the Government Accountability Office investigate and report on the Interagency Bison Management Plan to Congress. Released in April 2008, the GAO's report will play an important role in directing Congressional legislation to help protect America's last wild bison herd and their native habitat, and is available online: http://www.gao.gov/docsearch/abstract.php?rptno=GAO-08-291
