This summarizes a report from Parks Canada about the reintroduction of bison to the Banff National Park.

A Parks Canada report published this week concluded that the reintroduction was a success, and it suggested that due to their robust growth rate, this bison subpopulation—one of only five that occupy a mere 0.5 percent of their original range in North America—may no longer be considered endangered within a decade.

I loves me some bison. I visit Yellowstone nearly every winter. My heart hurts when I think of the slaughter during early US history. I yearn for a better integration of nature and animals with modern society.
