American Prairie, Conservation Groups Appeal Bison Grazing Decision
- American Prairie and other conservation groups have appealed the federal government's decision to cancel bison grazing leases on Bureau of Land Management land in Montana.
- Due to the lease cancellations, American Prairie stopped its annual bison harvest program that would have provided 17 hunting permits to the public, and tribal nations say this harms food sovereignty programs.
- The Bureau of Land Management canceled all seven of American Prairie's bison-grazing permits, requiring the removal of herds by September.
- The appeal argues that the BLM's decision is legally baseless and contradicts its own findings, affecting tribal bison herds and co-stewardship programs.
