What makes Yellowstone bison special? Sure, they’re the largest herd of bison found in the United States, but why are they the best bet for restoring bison across the country? Is it the fluffiest fur, the pointiest horns, or something else? In this episode, we’ll dive into why Yellowstone bison matter.
Joining us again on the podcast is the Greater Yellowstone Coalition’s wildlife program manager Shana Drimal. Shana provides strategic leadership to the Greater Yellowstone Coalition’s policies and programs to conserve, manage, and protect the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem’s iconic wildlife. Her main focus is on the ecological and cultural restoration of bison. She has an extensive background in wildlife ecology and research and knows just about everything there is to know about Yellowstone bison!
We’ll chat about why the Greater Yellowstone Coalition focuses on restoring Yellowstone bison, how bison are ecosystem engineers, and one of the biggest barriers we face in bison conservation.
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is the land of 49+ Indigenous Tribes who maintain current and ancestral connections to the lands, waters, wildlife, plants, and more.
Voices of Greater Yellowstone was created by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a conservation nonprofit dedicated to working with people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.
