The operation along the river was stressful for bald eagles, elk, moose and waterfowl that need undisturbed habitat to survive the long, harsh winter. Buffalo Field Campaign contends that the hazing operations are illegal because they violate the requirements set forth in the Annual Operating Plan about pre-monitoring for bald eagles, and has filed a 60 day Notice of Intent to Sue . The Annual Operating Plan's bald eagle monitoring plan and buffalo hazing requirements must be the same or similar to what's contained in the Biological Assessment. By waiving pre-monitoring for bald eagles they've illegally skirted the non discretionary and mandatory terms and conditions set forth in the Biological and Environmental Assessment. The Buffalo Field Campaign is the only group working in the field, everyday, to stop the slaughter of Yellowstone's wild buffalo.
Volunteers defend buffalo on their traditional winter habitat and advocate for their protection.
Our daily patrols stand with the buffalo on the ground they choose to be on, and document every action taken against them.
