Our Work to Protect the Wildlife of Greater Yellowstone

Bison
Bison roam freely in Yellowstone, and now when they leave and enter Montana, a limited number will be protected from hazing, capture and slaughter. Until a recent agreement allowing them to migrate to limited areas north and west of Yellowstone, they were the only large mammal in North America to be constrained by the boundaries of parks.

Grizzly Bears

Pronghorn
These cattle corrals, located in the middle of a traditional pronghorn migration route in the Gros Ventre Valley east of Jackson, were supposed to be temporary. The pronghorn migration is about to begin — and the corrals were still there on Oct. 23.

Elk
Brucellosis is a disease that is easily transmissible among elk and bison, particularly when concentrated on feedlots, and can cause infected ungulates to abort their fetuses.
