Mike Mease, Daniel Klinka, and Bison Re-Wilding

Despite being America’s national mammal, bison don’t exactly have it easy—especially those that live in Yellowstone Park, where they’re routinely hazed, hunted, and harassed. Luckily, Buffalo Field Campaign in West Yellowstone toils year-round in their defense. Across the state, in Montana’s northeast corner, American Prairie is building a massive bison sanctuary of its own, where the public can observe not only buffalo, but a rich and diverse array of other wildlife.

Join O/B Radio host Leslie Gaines as he talks with Mike Mease, ⁠Buffalo Field Campaign⁠ co-founder, and Daniel Kinka, ⁠American Prairie ⁠resource manager, about how to return bison to their rightful place on the American landscape.

This episode is sponsored by ⁠Yellowstone Wolf Tracker⁠, ⁠Montana Wildlife Federation⁠, the ⁠Gardiner Montana Chamber of Commerce⁠, and the ⁠Montana Environmental Information Center⁠.
