I contribute to several conservation organisations in Britain and I wish you all the best in what you are trying to do. I am particularly intertested as similar ambitions are being enacted here on our very crowded island. There is a guy who wants to introduce wolves back to an area of Scotland- that will be a battle. He's started more modestly with moose and wild boar though. There are also plans to reintroduce the European beaver to places in England and Scotland this Spring. From what I read, it sounds like you need to enlarge the protected area north of Yellowstone. Apparently a a third of the bison were shot last year when they strayed north to prevent the spread of brucellosis. It hope an answer can be found eventually to this.
