Once number ing in the tens of millions, these magnificent creatures played a significant role in the varies ecosystems they occupied and North American Indigenous People depended upon them.

With the arrival of Europeans, the Buffalo were all but exterminated, along with the millenia-old intricate food webs and inter-species relationships. Despite this brush with extinction, the buffalo survived and are slowly recovering. Alongside this recovery, the relationships once shared with thousands of species are being re-established in a remarkable process of ecological healing.

Based on Wes Olson's thirty-five years of working intimately with bison - and featuring Johana Janelle's stunning photography - The Ecological Buffalo takes a journey through the myriad connections this keystone species has with the Great Plains.
