Remote Vaccination Program for Bison

The purpose for this project is to address a National Park Service responsibility to implement the Interagency Bison Management Plan (IBMP) by expanding an in-park vaccination program directed by a 2000 Record of Decision (ROD). The need for this action is to preserve a population of native bison as a component of a naturally functioning ecosystem and protect them from a non-native disease (brucellosis).
