"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...

“Bringing bison back to North American landscapes”
I wonder how powerful a rifle I’ll need for that?

Dumb idea. Bison carry burceloisis(sp?). Fatal to cattle. Price of beef will go up some more.

There was a scheme that surfaced, about 15 years ago, to cram all people into the Malthusian Death-pit cities, returning all rural land to the wild, known as "Agenda 21".
Here's a map illustrating the concept:

This looks to be related.

Now the American bison which includes both plains and wood bison - is listed as Near Threatened on IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species. There are very nearly .5M bison, but they're still "threatened?"

In case this idiot missed it, Bison never left North America. There are a ton of them in Yellowstone and various ranches around the country. When he says, "give more land for their range" he is taking about farm land. Bison numbered in the millions at one time and migrated from Canada to the southern limits of the US, they took up millions of acres of land and there is no way that we could support huge herds like that again.
In my county in Northern CA there was a ranch that grew Bison, but because they allowed hunters to go in and shoot some of them whenever the rancher wanted to harvest them, the greenies raised he** and the ranch went out of business. Now, instead of seeing Bison wandering the hills, we see cows, deer and other animals, but no bison.
Greenies have been the death of this country and they continue to dance on our corpse.
One of the biggest scams of the country is the myth that Buffalo went extinct, they were down to just a few but they rallied, thanks to Yellowstone and certain ranchers.

OK, a bison isn’t a killer whale. They’re still big, wild animals. When I went to Yellowstone a few years back, the rangers advised staying as far away from a bison as they did the grizzly bears.
Not that it made any difference to most people.

“wood bison”
I have heard of bison in the forests of the American Northeast, that are no longer there. I am intrigued by this. Are there still wood bison? Where do they live? How are they different from the plains bison?
Wouldn’t those folks in Pennsylvania and New York love to have some wandering around again? If bison expansion is being encouraged out west, surely the east will want to participate, too? Right?
