*** About Bison: Bison, often referred to as buffalo in North America, hold a profound historical significance and an essential ecological role in the continent. These majestic animals, once roaming North America in vast herds, nearly faced extinction in the 19th century due to extensive hunting and habitat loss. Efforts to restore bison populations have been ongoing, highlighting their importance in biodiversity and the health of grassland ecosystems. Bison are not just symbols of the wilderness but are keystone species, influencing the structure and function of the landscapes where they graze. Their presence affects plant diversity, soil health, and the welfare of other wildlife species, truly making them architects of the prairies.
