"While substantial progress in saving bison from extinction was made in the 20th Century, much work remains to restore conservation herds throughout their vast geographical range," Gates says. "The key is recognition that the bison is a wildlife species and to be conserved as wildlife, it needs land and supportive government policies."

Bison have the best chance of full recovery as wildlife by being allowed to roam freely across hundreds of thousands or even millions of hectares. Making this possible poses one of the biggest challenges for restoring bison herds as both public and private landowners will need to give their support.

Reads to me as they're insinuating eminent domain issues if they want them roaming freely...

Could be if you don't "volunteer."

Guess they want another Johnson County War. OR: they have no clue what happens when free-range cattle bump up against widescale farming.
