I wonder if a surplus herd might to well in Kazakhstan?
It is over 1 million square miles, but has only 16 million people. Lots of grassland.

I went last year. Gov.
Hottie Noem was there.
You had to arrive at 3 or 4 am to get a good spot; then wait half the morning; then the herd passed by in about 20 min from when you could first see them to when they passed out of sight .
Overrated.

Photog wife got invite to photo/film Bison roundup on private ranch. The first advice was “They don’t domesticate”. Lots of calves, the herding dogs were amazing. The calves were shot with colored pellets after being counted so they wouldn’t be counted twice. The entire enterprise was a blast and quite educational. When a herd of buffalo moves, the earth shakes and everyone except those crazy dogs gets out of the way. Took them down a highway with a police escort too, that was fun.

You can't roller-skate in a buffalo herd, as a great American philosopher once said.
I think Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca was the first European to mention the American buffalo in writing.

There were at least 10 million bison in the southern herd of the North American plains in 1870 – but in less than 20 years, this had plummeted to only 500 wild specimens. This great slaughter had terrible knock-on effects not just for the ecosystem but for the Native Americans who relied on this species. If this were true, there would be no ozone layer left. Sounds like "the great slaughter" saved the ozone layer AND the eco-system for us.

This great slaughter had terrible knock-on effects not just for the ecosystem but for the Native Americans who relied on this species. Says who? The slaughter of bison was great for a growing industrial USA.
hope of all the rewilding benefits these creatures can bring.
Such as what? A psychological lift for urban dwellers?
