Just wanted to alert the wildlife/environmental supporters of a project I've been working with in conjunction with Patagonia called The Buffalo Field Campaign. The group has been working round the clock to protect and preserve the last free herd of buffalo in the United States against an ancient and failed wildlife management policy driven by the cattle industry (at a taxpayer cost of 2.8 million dollars a year).
Where once the buffalo's population numbered between 30 and 60 million nationwide the last herd now numbers less than 3,500, and over 1,600 bison were killed between 2006-2007. Once a proud figure of freedom in the west it now is a species fighting for it's survival.
There will be an hour show this Saturday on Planet Green at 10pm eastern (7pm western) about the effort. Definitely one of the most rewarding projects I have ever been apart of.
Read more about the details here.

Thanks!

| I thought there was also a herd up in the badlands of North/South Dakota, or are those not considered wild?
