Thanks to more than 2,500 WWF donors, bison in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, now have an additional 22,553 acres to roam thanks to a passionate group of supporters who want to see America's national mammal thrive.
"Bison are North America's largest and most iconic mammal, and WWF is thrilled to be part of an effort to create the second largest herd in the National Park system," said Martha Kauffman, managing director of WWF's Northern Great Plains program. "The project has touched the imaginations of people across the US, and the matching dollars that WWF has provided wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of our supporters."
Donors raised nearly $750,000 to extend the habitat for 1,200 bison.
Along with WWF, the National Park Foundation, Defenders of Wildlife, and The Nature Conservancy helped make this happen.
