Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
"Wind Cave National Park is home to North America's heaviest mammal, the bison, and many other iconic prairie mammals." On occasion, there's also a rare sighting of a bobcat.
There is no shortage of wildlife news, and little of it lately seems to be positive. We’re in a world-wide extinction crisis. Here in the United States, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just announced that nearly two dozen species, from the Ivory-billed woodpecker to two freshwater fish species, are extinct.
In this week’s show, Contributing editor Kim O’Connell joins me to discuss some of the stories from across the country that we’re working on at the Traveler and will be rolling out on the Traveler in the weeks and months ahead. And Lynn Riddick has a short story about a unique fundraiser that’s giving Wind Cave National Park new tools to manage and learn about the genetically pure bison herd there.
