Lunstrum publishes on bison restoration and public lands

Libby Lunstrum, a professor of environmental and global studies, recently published an article in The Conversation, examining the ongoing debate over whether bison should be classified as wildlife or livestock, highlighting how that distinction shapes conservation, land management and public policy in the American West. Lunstrum argues that the issue extends far beyond legal definitions, reflecting competing visions for public lands, tensions between conservation and ranching interests and the lasting impacts of colonial policies on Indigenous communities.
