Ernest Callenbach and the Wild Buffalo of Yellowstone

------

 

Join author Ernest Callenbach and folks from the Buffalo Field Campaign as

they talk about their efforts to protect America's last wild, free-ranging

buffalo located in Yellowstone National Park. Hear about the Buffalo Field

Campaign's work to protect the buffalo from the state of Montana, who has killed

3,500 buffalo since 1985, and their campaign to gain protection under the

Endangered Species Act for the herd.

 

 

 

Ernest Callenbach became familiar with the fight to protect the buffalo of

Yellowstone while writing " Bring Back the Buffalo! A Sustainable Future for the

Great Plains " in 1996. Callenbach's novel " Ecotopia " (1975), a portrait of a

future ecologically sustainable society, became an underground classic and is

still used in classrooms from Florida to Washington State. Come learn about one

of our true national treasures - the wild buffalo of Yellowstone - in an evening

of music, video presentations and great speakers.
