A Collaborative Bibliography for the Conservation, Management and Advocacy of Wild Bison
Though nearly driven to extinction in the 19th century, wild bison can still be found in various public herds around the country. The management of these herds is an issue that has been attracting a wide variety of people who wish to be participants in the management of this collective responsibility. The elements associated with managing wild bison have created considerable conflict over the years, especially in and around Yellowstone National Park. The purpose of this project is to create a comprehensive bibliography of scientific literature related to the North American bison, it's habitat and management. It is hoped that this collaborative tool can be used to facilitate greater access to information that can help us ensure the future of wild bison in North America. Though greatly assisted by Buffalo Field Campaign, the purpose of this project is not to present a specific political opinion regarding the management of wild bison, but to provide a tool that can be used by all stake-holders to craft wiser management solutions.
