Sinks Canyon Wild - Deeper Meaning Series: Rewilding the Reservation With Buffalo

Sinks Canyon WILD Presents: A Deeper Meaning Series: Buffalo Restoration on the Wind River Reservation with Jason Baldes

Jason Baldes, the executive officer with the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative will be our speaker. The Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative’s mission is “to reestablish a healthy Buffalo population to heal our land, our health, and to honor the cultural legacies of our ancestors. After their absence from the Wind River Reservation for over a century, we are on a mission to bring the Buffalo back.”

Jason received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Land Resources & Environmental Sciences from Montana State University, where he focused on Tribal Bison Restoration. As Tribal Buffalo Program Manager for the National Wildlife Federation’s Tribal Partnerships Program, he has established resolution-based agreements and helped restore more than 100 conservation Buffalo to the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes in Wind River since 2016.
