Today we are also celebrating Wildlife Conservatio

Today we are also celebrating Wildlife Conservation Day.

Let's join together and spread awareness about the protection of our natural world and it's amazing inhabitants. Even from home you can help by donating to your local conservation groups.

BISON HIGHLIGHT: During August 19-23, 2019, Yellowstone National Park moved 55 bison to the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana. It was the first direct relocation of bison to a new home as an alternative to slaughter and was the culmination of eight years of compromise between the federal government, State of Montana, and Fort Peck Tribes.

Today, the Fort Peck Tribes conserve 300-400 bison across more than 18,000 acres on their lands. 50 have been transferred so far in 2021. @nationalparkservice
