Bison Need You

Bison are a keystone species, essential to the health of our grassland ecosystems. They’re a part of our nation’s heritage and the story of Minnesota. Due to systematic overhunting, populations once dwindled from the millions down to less than 600 individuals in the 1800s. Today, tens of thousands roam the prairies again, including those in herds cared for by the Minnesota Zoo and our many partners across the state.

Bringing the bison back has been the result of long-range planning and consistent effort. Your gift to the Minnesota Zoo Foundation supports work like this, accelerating the Zoo’s mission to connect people, animals, and the natural world to save wildlife.
