Reintroducing the American Bison

My analysis of this movement to reintroduce the bison to the Great Plains is on par with the groups, organizations and tribes who are engaging in constant compromise to increase the bison population. It requires a foundation of community and social structures to establish the proper environment and protection of the bison. The 'hands-on' approach and involvement in various groups is a way I would prioritize in this particular process. I do not excel in visionary work, but prefer to dive in, be in the middle of it, and therefore see and feel the changes that need to occur. Each individual has a role in these immense projects and such roles often reflect personality to the extent that there need be the person with a great vision and simultaneously, those who want to get their hands dirty. I'd just want to hang out with the bison... protect and build.

I really appreciate your perspective, especially your insight into where you feel is best for you to be involved. This helps me to see that while I may be in support of it, I remain relatively inactive about the issue. I am not sure how I would get involved if I actually did. I tend to like planning and envisioning, with less overall participation but when I do get involved, I really enjoy the power and joy that comes from directly taking part in transformation.

Thank you for your thoughts on involvement.
