I love bison. 🦬 I grew up in North Dakota. There are not a lot of buffalo anywhere, but in North Dakota you will see bison at times. Usually being farmed, but if you go to the big parks you can see wild bison on the plains. One of the most majestic sights is a bison with snow and ice packed on them in the middle of a North Dakota blizzard, seemingly unfazed by any of it.
This article highlights a number of challenging issues to truly bringing wild bison back to the prairie. It highlights the work of American Prairie which is an organization I've decided to support. While the number of bison has grown the article suggests one of the biggest issues is our desire to categorize them as livestock, not wildlife.
These are majestic animals and I hope that we can see some true wild herds in the future.
