Environmental group seeks to revive Yellowstone bison case
The Cottonwood Environmental Law Center is calling for the reopening of a case related to bison management near Yellowstone National Park. The group argues that federal agencies, including the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service, have failed to fully comply with a 2020 court order to conduct necessary analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act. The lawsuit highlights concerns over the confinement of bison to small areas, causing safety issues from hunting and the enforcement of arbitrary boundaries set to prevent brucellosis transmission. Cottonwood is pushing for bison to roam freely on public lands, challenging the long-standing restrictions.
