About This Podcast

The American bison, often referred to as the American buffalo, once thundered across the vast grasslands of North America in staggering numbers. However, by the 19th century, this magnificent species faced near extinction due to rampant commercial hunting and the devastating impact of bovine diseases introduced by domestic cattle. In this powerful work, originally published in 1887, William T. Hornaday passionately advocates for the preservation of the American bison, providing compelling evidence of its perilous decline. His tireless efforts are credited with sparking a movement to save this iconic animal from disappearing forever. Discover the story of a species on the brink and the remarkable advocacy that brought it back from the edge. (Adapted from Wikipedia by Ann Boulais)
