"Saving the Buffalo" by Albert Marrin tells the compelling story of the American bison, once nearly driven to extinction due to overhunting and habitat loss. The narrative explores the relationship between the buffalo and Native American cultures, highlighting its significance in their traditions and way of life. As the population dwindles in the late 19th century, the book delves into the efforts of conservationists and advocates who strive to save the species. Through a blend of history, ecology, and social commentary, Marrin emphasizes the importance of preserving not just the buffalo, but also the ecosystems they inhabit and the cultural heritage they represent.
