A November 2009 briefing paper by the wildlife-advocacy nonprofit Buffalo Field Campaign, quoting the underlying 1999 Deed of Conservation Easement and a US Forest Service purchase summary for the 13,056,503.83 dollar federal land deal on Church Universal and Triumphant's Royal Teton Ranch.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: a briefing paper by Buffalo Field Campaign, a wildlife-advocacy nonprofit, dated November 2009, read directly, no individual byline located. It is an advocacy document with its own position on the bison policy that followed the land deal, but the dollar figure it gives, 13,056,503.83 dollars in taxpayer funds appropriated by the US Congress and disbursed by the US Department of the Interior and US Forest Service, is precise to the cent and is explicitly sourced to named legal and government instruments, a Deed of Conservation Easement dated 30 August 1999 and a US Forest Service purchase summary with funding breakdown updated 6 March 2000, rather than being the advocacy group's own estimate.
