National Bison Range: Keeping Our Bison Heritage Alive

2005 FESTIVAL
14 min.
The National Bison Range is a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service introduction to the wildlife conservation area created by Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 to bring the threatened buffalo back from extinction. The American bison is the undisputed star of this show—great, shaggy creatures of prehistory that once roamed the American West in the millions. Audiences young and old can enjoy the sight of the majestic herds of bison that blanket Western hillsides, fulfilling the goals of the refuge, as well as the mission of the Fish & Wildlife Service: conserving wildlife to benefit all Americans.
