							<![CDATA[In October 2020, the hoofbeats of American bison thumped across the prairie of the Rosebud Reservation for the first time in more than a century. Years in the works, the release of 100 bison (Bison bison) in the U.S. state of South Dakota resulted from a collaboration between the Sicangu Lakota Oyate Nation, WWF and the U.S. Department of the Interior. The goal was to bring a critical species back to the North American Great Plains, from which they’d nearly been exterminated in the 1800s. In doing so, the hope was to reinvigorate the relationships between North America’s largest land animal, the landscape and its people. For the Indigenous Sicangu Lakota Oyate, the release marked a resurgent spiritual connection, one based on an ancient kinship they share with the bison. The return is expected to reap more quantifiable rewards, too. Thanks to their habits and bulk, bison shape the environment in unique and profound ways. Their hooves aerate the soil, stimulating the growth of grasses, which pull carbon from the atmosphere. Their restless feeding habits and predilection for wallowing leave behind pockets of habitat favored by a variety of birds. And their dung and urine leave behind nutrients and seeds. The Rosebud Reservation bison offer just one example of how bringing back wildlife to a landscape enhances the value of what scientists call nature’s contributions to people (NCPs), according to Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer, WWF’s global biodiversity lead scientist. “Without some rewilding — without, in this case, bringing back this keystone species&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2025/01/scientists-are-tracking-global-wildlifes-contributions-to-humanity/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns tells stories that shed light on the complexities and nuances of the United States’ cultural tapestry. This time, Burns has turned his lens on a symbol of the vast North American plains: the American buffalo (Bison bison). In a poignant discussion with Mongabay’s Liz Kimbrough, Burns delves deep into his upcoming two-part documentary, The American Buffalo, set to premiere Oct. 16 and 17 on PBS, the U.S. Public Broadcasting Service. The documentary navigates the harrowing journey of the American bison, one that historian Rosalyn LaPier describes as two distinct tales. One is a chronicle of the intimate relationship shared between Indigenous communities and the buffalo; a bond nurtured over millennia. The other is the darker story of the buffalo’s near-annihilation at the hands of European settlers. These settlers, driven by cash bounties for buffalo hides, decimated the buffalo population, causing it to plummet from a staggering 30 million to less than 1,000 within a few decades. This massacre spelled calamity for the Indigenous tribes, whose existence was intertwined with the buffalo. In what Burns views as a concerted effort, this annihilation not only targeted the buffalo but symbolized the larger intention of bringing Native Americans to their knees. &#8220;What was most disturbing and heartbreaking was not just the slaughter of the animal, which in and of itself is beyond the pale. But the idea that behind it … sometimes verbalized but never written into real official policy, was the realization that &#8216;if we kill the buffalo,&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/10/ken-burns-discusses-hope-heartbreak-of-the-american-buffalo-his-new-documentary/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Each morning as the sun rises into the sky, ranger Donovan Wright stands on the outskirts of Blean Woods in the United Kingdom. The ancient woodland in southern England covers 509 hectares (1,257 acres) and is filled with broadleaf oak trees, birch and hazel. The former South African safari ranger of 20 years is welcomed by the chirping of native birds in the treetops. He might spy an inquisitive fox or rabbit darting through the undergrowth, or find badger tracks dotted along the leaf-strewn pathways. Yet, as he walks deeper into the ancient woods, the atmosphere changes. “It is surprisingly quiet,” Wright told Mongabay. “If you look at an aerial view, you will go, ‘Wow, it’s so green and full of life.’ But that richness and biodiversity is not there.” But soon a new animal, the biggest land mammal in Europe, will change everything. In May 2022, Wright and fellow ranger Tom Gibbs will be introducing a herd of European bison (Bison bonasus) into the primeval woods in a $1.4 million project run by the Kent Wildlife Trust.

							<![CDATA[The story of the American bison is both tragic and uplifting. Once dappling the prairies of North America in the tens of millions, hunting winnowed the number to perhaps a thousand survivors by the end of the 19th century. Nearly wiping out the continent’s largest surviving land animal was a bloody stain on the century-old country that had been driven in part by a campaign by the U.S. government to bring the bison-dependent First Nations of the Great Plains to heel. Today, bison dot the vast grasslands once again, though their numbers are nowhere near what they once were. Federally protected herds roam wild in places like Yellowstone National Park, and the practice of releasing small groups, often on privately held lands, has grown in popularity. Through the will of individuals and organizations determined to hang on to this iconic animal — it’s now the United States’ national mammal — the survival of Bison bison is no longer in doubt. “It&#8217;s very exciting because they almost went extinct,” avian ecologist and conservation biologist Nico Arcilla told Mongabay. &#8220;It was purely because of human effort. People said, ‘We&#8217;re going to protect these last animals.’” Bison grazing in Nebraska. Image by Nico Arcilla. Given the bison’s recovery, it might seem that returning the continent’s largest land animal to the landscape at every opportunity would be a logical step toward restoring the ecosystem of the Great Plains. But research by Arcilla and her colleagues suggests that reintroducing bison can have unintended consequences.

							<![CDATA[Humanity is living through four interrelated global crises: biodiversity, climate, pandemic, and social justice. Because the nature and scale of threats to the planet and all its life forms is so pernicious and unprecedented, these crises often seem difficult for scientists, conservationists, and political leaders to fully grasp, let alone take concrete steps toward systemic change. Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge—so often minimized or just poorly known—can offer us a critical model on how to effectively and holistically address such fundamental challenges. We must now craft novel conservation models that spark a new relationship with nature while dissolving the barriers that divide us from the natural world, each other, and ourselves. We need strategies that draw on the wisdom of the past while elevating equity and justice. In the American West, that future requires that our efforts to conserve nature begins with the people and communities who call the Rocky Mountains home. There is no better guide for this uncharted journey than the North American bison—and no better story to learn from than those of past leaders and visionaries who, against all kinds of odds, succeeded in saving from extinction a keystone species of such significant biocultural importance: our brother, the buffalo.

							<![CDATA[The bison circled four times around the holding pen, before the lead animals took them into the 3,400-hectare (8,500-acre) pasture, their new home on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in the U.S. state of South Dakota. The thunder of 400 hooves as they crossed through the gate gave way to the whir of cameras and ululations from the crowd, perhaps 20 people gathered to see the return of the bison. Out in their new pasture, the animals loped, moving in unison as if one organism. Then, they slowed and wheeled to the left against a backdrop of a few lonely trees on a blanket of tan grass stretching to distant hills. They seem to fit into the landscape, as if they’d always been there and always would be. It was land where their ancestors had run for thousands of years, where they had been central to the success of the Great Plains&#8217; nations, anchoring their cultures, prescribing their movements and filling their bellies. “Bringing them home. That’s what it meant,” said Monica Terkildsen, a member of the Oglala Lakota and WWF’s tribal liaison on the neighboring Pine Ridge Reservation, who was at the Oct. 30 release. “You just have a peaceful feeling,” Terkildsen said. “That means that you don&#8217;t have to worry about hunger, you don&#8217;t have to worry about inadequate housing … all these worries that come with oppression and poverty.” At their peak, an estimated 30 million bison grazed North America’s Great Plains, the region that drapes the center&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2020/12/hope-and-peace-bison-return-to-the-rosebud-reservation/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[As a young boy living on South Dakota’s Rosebud Indian Reservation, Wizipan Little Elk remembers the first time he saw a buffalo herd. The experience ignited a passion, and at the age of 19, he resolved to do &#8220;something meaningful&#8221; for buffalo. Little Elk left home to attend college at Yale and law school in Arizona, before a stint as an appointed official in the Department of the Interior (DOI) under the Obama administration. Then, his path led him home in 2011 to take up the post of CEO of the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation (REDCO). For decades, leaders of the Lakota and other Native American tribes of North America’s Great Plains dreamed of returning the buffalo to their homeland. Now, Little Elk and the people of Rosebud are on the cusp of realizing that vision, with the first buffalo set to be released back on the reservation this fall. The initial plan is to release several hundred buffalo donated through the DOI’s Bison Conservation Initiative onto about 3,400 hectares (8,500 acres) of land. REDCO’s broader vision is to work with WWF, the DOI and the Tribal Land Enterprise, which manages the reservation’s land, to fill about 11,300 hectares (28,000 acres) with 1,500 bison. A herd that size would be the largest owned by Native Americans in North America. &#8220;This is a continuation of a whole bunch of work and sacrifice that people before us have done,&#8221; Little Elk told Mongabay. &#8220;We&#8217;re just fulfilling what other people have dreamed about.&#8221;&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2020/06/bison-back-home-on-the-range/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[But for the rumble of frogs or the song of a bluethroat, Bialowieza Forest in Poland has become quiet again after two years of heavy machinery, chainsaws and falling trees. But it’s not the same forest as it was before the drastic explosion in logging began—and it will likely take decades, if not longer, to recover. So, activists say now is the time to call for the Bialowieza National Park to be extended across the entire ecosystem. “The entire Forest of Bialowieza must become a national park. It is [the] most valuable forest [in] Poland and lowland Europe, the home of unique species of animals, plants and fungi,” said Krzysztof Cibor, a spokesperson for Greenpeace- Poland. “We cannot lose this treasure.” The logging bonanza The firestorm over Bialowieza—which tested the European Union—began over two years ago. In March of 2016, then-Polish Environment Minister Jan Szyzko approved a plan to triple industrial logging in Poland’s Bialoweiza forest. The government argued it was the only way to combat a spruce bark beetle outbreak, but environmentalists believed that was largely an excuse to give access to the state-run logging regime. Two months later the government dismissed 32 scientists from an advisory board for their opposition to the plan. Although the logging plan spared the national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site portion of Bialoweiza, it targeted the remaining unprotected forest, which comprises the majority of the ecosystem in Poland. Logs lie on the ground after being felled in Bialoweiza Forest.

							<![CDATA[A photographer and I have been walking for an hour through Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, which is sandwiched between the North Sea and the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. You’re either crazy or a cyclist to be out in the windswept coastal dunelands during the winter months. But we’re here for a different activity in the most densely populated country in the European Union: bison watching. Most of the Bison Trail is spent sloshing through sand that lies just below the surface all along the heavily developed western part of the Netherlands, also known as the Randstad megalopolis. Yellow-painted poles demarcate this sanctioned trail, which travels up and over the shoulders of shifting dunes as they struggle to hang on to their toupees of marram grass in the frigid wind. Panting, bent double, I spot two official-looking chaps kitted out with waterproofs and binoculars the size of elephant tusks. “Have you seen the bison?” I venture. “They’re sheltering in the woods over there,” one of them replies through thick gray stubble, pointing over undulating dunes to the far side of the 330-hectare (740-acre) bison enclosure called the Kraansvlak. “But you’re missing out — look,” he continues, gesturing with his tusks toward a nearby stag that lifts up its trophy of antlers. It was lazily grazing just across the dune slack from us, almost annoyed we hadn’t noticed it. The thing that intrigues me, though, is not that my narrow-minded focus has blotted out a resplendent stag. No, it is that&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2018/04/better-than-bottled-how-a-dutch-company-uses-bison-to-maintain-pure-drinking-water/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[In a recently logged clearing outside Krakow, Poland, a woman sits on a tree stump, nursing her child. She looks down affectionately, her purple knitted cap and magenta jacket vividly defined against the subdued brown hues of the surrounding arboreal graveyard. She is not alone. Several other women are dotted about the clearing, sitting on tree stumps of their own. Each mother holds a child in her arms. These are the women who speak for the trees. Matki Polki na wyrębie or “Polish Mothers at the Felling” is a grassroots group of local mothers formed earlier this year to protest newly intensified logging practices that are slashing their way across the Eastern European country. The Polish Mothers at the Felling protest deforestation by feeding their children on tree stumps in recently-logged clearings. Photo credit: Tomasz Wiech. In March 2016, Polish environment minister Jan Szyszko green-lighted a three-fold logging increase in Białowieża, the largest of Europe’s last old-growth forests. This January, a logging amendment nicknamed “Szyszko’s Law” went into effect, allowing private landowners to cut down any tree on their property without giving permission or notice of any kind. “[Forests are] part of our culture and our heritage, and our pride,” said Daria Gosek of Polish Mothers at the Felling. “Sadly instead of preserving them, foresters more and more often are pursuing profit and a wish to earn money from selling timber, and cutting them down.” Logging now continues at breakneck speed, threatening to snuff out all but the 17 percent&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2017/07/mothers-vs-loggers-the-destruction-of-bialowieza-forest-splits-poland/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[The quiet of Europe&#8217;s last old-growth lowland forest is being interrupted by the whirr whirr whirr of chainsaws – and trees, some hundreds-of-years old, are coming down by government decree. Loggers have entered Bialowieza Forest in eastern Poland, a place home to wolves (Canis lupus), Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx), moose (Alces alces), red deer (Cervus elaphus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), and the Eurasian three-toed woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus). Bialowieza, which means &#8220;white tower,&#8221; was also the staging ground for the slow and steady comeback of the continent’s biggest mammal, the European bison (Bison bonasus) and houses the world’s largest population of this megafauna. Unlike the rest of Poland and much of Europe, a significant portion – approximately half – of Bialowieza Forest has never been knowingly logged. In late March, Poland’s new far-right government announced a radically stepped-up plan to log inside Bialowieza, which has largely escaped historical logging due to its status as a hunting ground for royal Poles and Russian kings. The new plan will allow loggers to harvest more than 180,000 cubic meters of wood from the forest by 2021, three-and-a-half times the original plan of 40,000 cubic meters. While the project will avoid logging inside Bialowieza National Park, it will cut large, old trees out of the ecosystem directly surrounding the small protected area. “Every increase of logging in the Bialowieza Forest leads to loss of natural unique forest,” Rafał Kowalczyk, the director of the Mammal Research Institute in Bialowieza Forest, told Mongabay. He called the current plan&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2016/06/ignoring-scientists-poland-begins-logging-famous-primeval-forest/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Once abundant, the American bison (Bison bison) was nearly hunted to extinction in the 19th century. Now, the big furry animal is set to join the bald eagle, the oak tree and the rose as a Unites States national symbol. On Tuesday last week, the U.S. House passed the ‘National Bison Legacy Act’, which designates the bison as the official national mammal of the U.S. The senate, too, approved the bill and voted in favor of the iconic animal on Thursday. The bill now has to be signed by President Obama. “The National Bison Legacy Act is a milestone in a long journey by WCS, its flagship Bronx Zoo, and many other partners to prevent the bison from going extinct and to recognize the bison’s ecological, cultural, historical and economic importance to the United States,” Cristián Samper, WCS President and CEO, said in a statement. The American bison is slated to become the US national mammal. Photo by Jack Dykinga, Public Domain. The American bison is a popular symbol across the U.S. It is the official state animal or mammal of three U.S. states &#8212; Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming – and appears on two state flags. A bison has also been depicted on the official seal of the Department of the Interior since 1912, and is a mascot of various sports teams in the U.S. The National Bison Legacy Act recognizes the bison as a “historical symbol of the United States”.

							<![CDATA[Yellowstone National Park’s annual culling of the last wild herd of bison, or buffalo, in the United States has been controversial since it began in 2000, and now it has prompted a First Amendment battle between National Park Service officials and reporters determined to document the grim spectacle. The U.S. National Park Service originally proposed to kill as many as 1,000 bison this winter in an attempt to limit the herd’s annual migration up the Yellowstone River valley and into traditional winter range in Montana, where ranchers fear the bison could infect their cattle with brucellosis, a bacterial disease that can cause miscarriages. Brucellosis is a livestock disease first introduced in the US by cattle brought over from Europe. Bison are not the only species that can carry the disease — and in fact, according to the Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC), recent studies of brucellosis transmission to cattle in the Yellowstone ecosystem found that elk were the more likely source. There has never been a documented case of domestic livestock contracting the disease from bison in the wild, the BFC says. After consulting with state and federal agencies as well as local Native American tribes, the Park Service plans to begin trapping and facilitating the killing of up to 900 bison starting February 15, EcoWatch reports. The parts of the park where the trapping operations take place will be off limits to the public, including media. American bison, or American buffalo, in Yellowstone National Park.

							<![CDATA[Is the Wild West using the most up-to-date technology for managing wildlife and researching conservation issues? Kyran Kunkel, Lead Scientist at American Prairie Reserve and Affiliate Professor in the Wildlife Biology Program at the University of Montana, wants to ensure that it is. He spoke with WildTech about technologies he relies on for his work on the Reserve and those he has used previously in carnivore research, as well as new technologies he hopes to see for wildlife management and restoration of North America’s grassland ecosystems in the near future. American Prairie Reserve &#8211; North America&#8217;s &#8220;Serengeti&#8221;. Photo credit: American Prairie Reserve Throughout his career, Kunkel has investigated the movement and foraging patterns of a suite of carnivores, including grizzly bears, wolves, and mountain lions, in the American West. In the late 1990s, he began shifting his attention to helping create and restore American Prairie Reserve – North America’s most expansive wildlife reserve and restoration project, protecting native bison, swift foxes, and pronghorn, among its more iconic mammals. In helping to initiate the reintroduction of bison back onto the Reserve, located in northeastern Montana, Kunkel is ensuring the species is returned to a portion of its historic native range. We spoke to him about how his team has used technology to better understand the use of the prairie ecosystem by bison and other wildlife.
