Bring Back the Buffalo!: A Sustainable Future for America's Great Plains Hardcover - 1995

by Ernest Callenbach; Hans Callenbach (Illustrator)


From the publisher

In Bring Back the Buffalo!, Ernest Callenbach argues that the return of the bison is the key to a sustainable future for the Great Plains. Vast stretches of the region have seen a steady decline in population and are ill-suited for traditional agriculture or cattle ranching. Yet those same areas provide ideal habitat for bison.

Callenbach explores the past history, present situation, and future potential of bison in North America as he examines what can and should be done to re-establish bison as a significant presence in the American landscape. He looks forward with high hopes to a time when vast herds of buffalo provide permanent sustenance to the rural inhabitants of the Great Plains and again play a central role in the balance of nature.

First line

Many fine books look back with painful nostalgia to the days when 60 million buffalo roamed the grasslands of America and tell of how they fell tragic victims to human greed.
