  • 5Th American Bison Society Meeting and Workshop
    5th American Bison Society Meeting and Workshop Banff, Alberta September 26-29, 2016 Cover photos: Bison photos: © Kent Redford; Treaty signing: © Stephen Legault h Message from the Governor General I am delighted to extend my warmest regards to all those gathered for the 2016 American Bison Society Meeting. Over a century ago, long before the advent of ‘green’ living, a passionate group of individuals banded together to revitalize the dwindling North American bison population. These magnificent animals had been ravaged by human greed, almost to the point of extinction. Yet, through the efforts of the American Bison Society, the bison have returned to the wild in great numbers. The Society continues to play an important role in ensuring the survival of the bison. Its members have adopted the values of preservation and conservation, and are sharing this knowledge with the next generation, so that they may carry on this essential task. I commend the Society on its achievements and I wish everyone a most enjoyable celebration. David Johnston September 2016 5th American Bison Society Meeting and Workshop H American Bison Society h Welcome from WCS Dear colleagues, Welcome to the fifth bi-annual American Bison Society meeting and workshop. For the first time, we are hosting this meeting of bison enthusiasts, managers, producers, advocates, philanthropists, and artists in Canada. Not only is Banff a beautiful setting, it also plays a crucial role in the history of bison in North America. Over the next three days we will come together to share stories, learn about our work across North America and, finally, celebrate the second anniversary of the Buffalo Treaty.

  • The National Bison Legacy Act Talking Points
    The National Bison Legacy Act Talking Points Basic Background The National Bison Association, Intertribal Buffalo Council and Wildlife Conservation Society have established a coalition to designate bison as the National Mammal of the U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) and Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) introduced the National Bison Legacy Act on May 24, which would designate the North American bison as the National Mammal and recognize its place in the country’s cultural, economic and ecological heritage. A bipartisan group of 12 Senators from Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Ohio, and New York is currently supporting the bill. A coalition of bison producers, tribal representatives and conservationists also plan to celebrate the First Thursday each November as National Bison Day (November 1st this year). Why this Campaign? Why Now? With the 100 year anniversary of the American Bison Society, the members were reconvened to discuss the successes of the last century and the challenges ahead. One of the recommendations was to rise above the current discourse and elevate bison to its appropriate stature as a national symbol of freedom and self determination. The coalition recommended that a federal bill be crafted to recognize bison as the national mammal to bring together all the various stakeholders who share a common interest in bison and begin to find ways to work together for the greater good. Why Bison As an American icon, bison are: o The largest land mammal; o profiled on coins; o designated as the state mammal of Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Kansas; o depicted on the Department of the Interior’s seal; and o featured on logos of sports teams, businesses, and academic institutions.

  • A Biogeographic History of the Plains Bison Focusing on Population and Range Dynamics
    365: Biogeography Final Paper 1 Biogeography Final Paper A Biogeographic History of the Plains Bison Focusing on Population and Range Dynamics Grace Roman Valparaiso University 365: Biogeography Final Paper 2 General Description and Current Range There are two subspecies of bison in North America, Bos bison bison (plains bison) and Bos bison athabascae (wood bison). This paper focuses on the Bos bison bison or more commonly referred to as the plains bison (Boyd, 2003). The average adult male bison is approximately 5’8’’ tall and 10’2’’ in length (Hornaday, 1889, p. 406). Although the plains bison is the smallest of the Bison genus adult bulls tend to weigh up to a ton, and cows usually weigh half to two-thirds of that weight (Pickering, 2006, p. 8). The general description of a bison-bison can be summarized by a depiction written by the Spanish historian De Solis in 1724 when he states, “It has crooked shoulders, with a bunch on its back like a camel; its flanks dry, its tail large, and its neck cover’d with hair like a lion. It is cloven footed, its head armed like that of a bull, which it resembles in fierceness, with no less strength and agility.” (Hornaday, 1889, p. 373). This is a very comprehensive portrayal of an adult bison, however, the physique of a bison changes throughout its life. The bison calf is a much lighter uniform sandy color and has long wavy hair and it stands approximately 2’8’’ tall and 4’ in length (Hornaday, 1889, p. 397-398).

Gogan, and Mandy Kotzman IUCN/SSC American Bison Specialist Group IUCN IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature, helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges. IUCN works on biodiversity, climate change, energy, human livelihoods and greening the world economy by supporting scientific research, managing field projects all over the world, and bringing governments, NGOs, the UN and companies together to develop policy, laws and best practice. IUCN is the world’s oldest and largest global environmental organization, with more than 1,000 government and NGO members and almost 11,000 volunteer experts in some 160 countries. IUCN’s work is supported by over 1,000 staff in 60 offices and hundreds of partners in public, NGO and private sectors around the world. IUCN Species Programme The IUCN Species Programme supports the activities of the IUCN Species Survival Commission and individual Specialist Groups, as well as implementing global species conservation initiatives. It is an integral part of the IUCN Secretariat and is managed from IUCN’s international headquarters in Gland, Switzerland. The Species Programme includes a number of technical units covering Wildlife Trade, the Red List, Freshwater Biodiversity Assessments (all located in Cambridge, UK), and the Global Biodiversity Assessment Initiative (located in Washington DC, USA). IUCN Species Survival Commission The Species Survival Commission (SSC) is the largest of IUCN’s six volunteer commissions with a global membership of 8,000 experts. SSC advises IUCN and its members on the wide range of technical and scientific aspects of species conservation and is dedicated to securing a future for biodiversity.
