Environmental groups have filed notice they plan to sue the federal government to force them to grant federal protections to plains bison as an endangered species. The Center for Biological Diversity and the Western Watersheds Project contend that bison numbers have dropped over 99% in the last 2 centuries. The Billings Gazette reports there are about 400,000 bison in the US, most used for meat production, and only 20-thousand wild bison are in 11-states.
