Bring Back the Buffalo!

by Ernest Callenbach

In Bring Back the Buffalo!, Ernest Callenbach portrays the history and present situation of bison, and explores their remarkable potential. Bison belong on the Plains. Legendary symbols of independence and self-reliance, they endure blizzards, survive without feeding, and need no human help to give birth. Unlike cattle, bison move dozens of miles a day as they graze, reducing impacts on grasses and streams. Vast stretches of the Plains, declining in population and ill-suited for farming or cattle raising, provide ideal habitat for bison.
