Bison Restoration

Bison restoration involves the efforts to re-establish wild bison populations in their natural habitats, primarily in North America. Historically, bison were vital to ecosystems and Indigenous cultures, but their numbers declined drastically due to overhunting and habitat loss. Restoration aims to rebuild sustainable herds through conservation programs, habitat preservation, and management practices. This not only helps restore ecological balance but also supports cultural and economic values. The process includes monitoring populations, implementing genetic diversity strategies, and collaborating with local communities to ensure bison thrive in the wild while minimizing conflicts with human land use.
