Protecting an American Icon
WCS is continuing our tradition of using science-based solutions both in the field and in our wildlife parks to maintain viable bison populations, and to preserve this icon of American heritage.
National Mammal
In April of 2016, WCS and other members of the American Bison Coalition celebrated passage of the National Bison Legacy Act by Congress—making the bison the National Mammal of the United States. President Obama signed the legislation on May 9, 2016.
