Bison calves on the prairies

[Catherine]

The Bison were deliberately eradicated in North America. They were almost successful, but some animals survived. Now there is a real move to restore the Bison to their natural territory. It is being done one herd at a time. Each new herd is entrusted to an Indigenous community. These Bison are thriving and in return the land will thrive and the prairies will be restored.

A herd was brought to Brokenhead Manitoba and this spring they have had a number of baby Bison born.
They are so cute and they are such a sign of hope.

Restoring a keystone species is the key to restoring a habitat. Seeing so many baby Bison is wonderful. 
I am from Manitoba and I know the area. Seeing my homeland restored is very special too me.

We may be a long way from the large free roaming herds of the past, but it is progress at restoration and the ecological healing of the land.
When the Bison return, so do many other plant and animal species.


I just found an article about a frozen Ice Age Bison that was found and preserved for study.

This is an incredible find and it will further our knowledge so much.
The timing is perfect. The Bison are coming back.
