Endangered and Threatened Species: 90-Day Finding for Three Petitions to List the Yellowstone Bison

A group of researchers and conservationists submitted an academic paper titled "The Ecological Future of the North American Bison" to provide a long-term, large-scale vision for bison restoration. The document outlines the "Vermejo Statement," which emphasizes inclusive, ambitious, and ecologically significant goals for the species over the next century.

The commenter supports the listing of the Yellowstone Bison and advocates for their protection as an umbrella species. They call for the removal of migration barriers, the creation of wildlife crossings, and an end to winter slaughters until a sustainable population is established.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison are facing severe threats from government slaughter, habitat destruction, loss of migration corridors, and climate change. They advocate for the protection of the species by highlighting the critical need for conservation measures to preserve their wild genome and survival.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone Bison should be listed as endangered due to habitat degradation, inadequate regulatory mechanisms in Montana, and the impacts of climate change and commercial resource extraction. They emphasize the bison's role as a keystone species and advocate for a comprehensive scientific analysis that includes population demographics, tribal connections, and ecological benefits like carbon sequestration.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison is in a critical state due to habitat destruction, human development, and government restrictions on migration. They advocate for the protection of the species, highlighting the need to preserve their wild genome and address the threats posed by climate change and livestock management.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison is in danger due to government slaughter, habitat destruction from human land use, and the loss of migration corridors. They also highlight threats from livestock management and the bison's inability to adapt to rapid climate change.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison population is in critical danger due to government slaughter, habitat destruction, and the loss of migration corridors. They advocate for the protection of the species by highlighting the threats posed by human land use, livestock management, and climate change.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison are facing severe threats from government slaughter, habitat destruction, and climate change. They advocate for the protection of the species by highlighting the loss of migration corridors and the risks posed by livestock management.

The commenter argues that government actions, human land use, and livestock management have severely threatened the Yellowstone bison population and its habitat. They urge the government to take action to improve the lives of the bison and protect their wild genome.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison is a keystone species facing severe threats from habitat loss, human development, and government actions. They urge the agency to take all necessary actions to save and increase the population of the Yellowstone Herd.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison are facing severe threats from government slaughter, habitat destruction due to human land use, and climate change. They advocate for the listing by highlighting the loss of migration corridors and the need to protect the species' wild genome from livestock management.

The commenter urges the agency to make corrections to regulations to protect the Yellowstone bison from various threats. They cite issues such as excessive hunting, invasive cattle, habitat loss from human development, and restrictive land-use policies as reasons for stronger conservation measures.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison is facing severe threats from government actions, habitat destruction, and climate change. They advocate for the protection of the species by highlighting the decimation of the Central herd and the loss of migration corridors.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison is in danger due to government slaughter, habitat destruction from human land use, and the loss of migration corridors. They also highlight threats from livestock management and the bison's inability to adapt to rapid climate change.

The commenter argues that the Yellowstone bison population is in critical danger due to government slaughter, habitat destruction, and climate change. They emphasize the urgency of listing the species to protect its wild genome and ensure its survival against human-caused environmental pressures.
