Sometimes a bison is not just a bison

[magid]

Another Current Administration choice I find deplorable: revoking grazing permits for bison on federal lands. This is just a veiled attack on Indigenous groups that have been working together to get the key herbivore of the Great Plains back on at least some of the land they used to roam.

(Part of the reason the Great Plains were so fertile was because of bison herds roaming, grazing and trampling and excreting as they went. Those prairie grasses and other plants had deep roots that held the land in place; current farming practices encourage soil erosion and discourage soil health.)
