Bison

Community Builders and Grassland Caretakers

Beschreibung

Meet the Herd Bison are North America's largest land animals. Thirty million plains bison once ranged across the continent, but overhunting in the 1800s almost drove them to extinction. Since then bison lovers have been working together to save this keystone species. Bison support biodiversity and strengthen ecosystems around them. Discover the places where bison are regaining a hoof-hold. Explore the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and these iconic animals, and meet young people welcoming bison back home.
