The IBMP was signed in 2000 to coordinate bison and brucellosis management between the State of Montana and Yellowstone National Park. The plan was developed by the National Park Service; the U.S. Forest Service; the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service; the Montana Department of Livestock; and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. In 2009, three tribal entities were added as partners: the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes, the InterTribal Buffalo Council, and the Nez Perce Tribe.

FWP is hosting the May 14 meeting as the IBMP’s lead partner for 2025.
