Learn About Animals

There have been many positive developments in recent years related to the treatment and conservation of animals around the world. According to the World Wildlife Fund, conservation efforts have led to an increase in the populations of many threatened species, including pandas, tigers, and gorillas. In addition, many countries have taken steps to improve animal welfare, including through legislation and policy reforms aimed at protecting animals from cruelty and abuse. There has also been growing recognition of the importance of animal rights and the need to reduce the impact of human activities on animal habitats and ecosystems. Many individuals and organizations are working to promote more sustainable and humane practices in agriculture, wildlife management, and other areas that affect animals. While there is still much work to be done to address the many challenges facing animals worldwide, these positive developments demonstrate the potential for continued progress in promoting the well-being and conservation of animals.

Wild Dolphin Project

Wild Dolphin Project

The Wild Dolphin Project is a non-profit scientific research organization that studies and reports on a specific pod of free-ranging Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) in the Bahamas. Objectives of this long-term, non-invasive field research are to gather information on the natural history of these dolphins, including behaviors, social structure, communication, and habitat; and to report what we have learned to the scientific community and the general public. We believe in non-invasive work and primarily rely on photo and video identification, benign fecal collection for DNA work, and maintain a mutual respect for the animals we work with in the wild.

BUFFALO FIELD CAMPAIGN

BUFFALO FIELD CAMPAIGN

To stop the harassment and slaughter of Yellowstone’s wild buffalo herds; protect the natural habitat of wild, free-roaming buffalo and other native wildlife; and work with all people—especially Indigenous Nations—to honor and protect the sacredness of the wild buffalo. We pursue our mission through a variety of coordinated strategies: In the field: Our volunteers conduct regular patrols to track and locate buffalo. Teams monitor buffalo movements; document herd activity with field notes, photographs, and video; and remain prepared to initiate nonviolent action as necessary to defend these magnificent animals. In a great example of BFC synergy: our field patrols also collect scientific data for use by our legal and legislative teams, biologists, and other organizations—adding another layer of value to our field campaigns. In the political/legislative arena: We support a variety of efforts to inform local, state, and federal politicians and legislators of the plight of the buffalo—and the importance of wild populations. In the courts: Our legal team fights judicial battles to defend the buffalo’s right to roam freely and live according to their natural instincts. In the public mind: In addition to providing information for educators, BFC actively promotes the needs of the buffalo through various public forums such as community meetings; information booths in and around Yellowstone; select conventions, expositions, and festivals; our annual roadshow; and more.
