The Unnaturalism of Human Habitat
What will we do when roads crisscross prairies to the point that there is no space left for the inhabitants of ecosystems through which we drive? Simon poses this question with his trusty colored pencils.
Bison Fact:Fewer than 30,000 bison are in conservation herds, and fewer than 5,000 are free-ranging and disease-free.Today, the bison of Yellowstone National Park face the threat of slaughter when they cross park boundaries and enter the state of Montana. The Montana Department of Agriculture fears the contamination of cattle by bison carrying the disease brucellosis, although there are no known cases of brucellosis passed by bison to domestic cattle in the wild.
