Wild bison roam Banff National Park for 1st time in more than century - Calgary - CBC News
'The first wild bison to roam Banff National Park in more than a century have been airlifted into a remote valley in a "historic homecoming" aimed at re-establishing a thriving herd, Parks Canada said Monday. '
'"This is a great day for Banff National Park. '
'Ideas include continuing public education and awareness, with a chance for volunteer opportunities to learn more about the bison, Heuer said. '
'Karsten Heuer, a conservationist and adviser in the project, hailed it as a "big first step in bringing bison back to Banff National Park."'
'The longer-term goal is to re-establish a new wild population of bison in Banff National Park and help the conservation of the animal nationally and internationally. '
Keeping wild populations of animals with such body size and strong migratory behavior under control always is challenging for national parks and reserves, but I do welcome this first step.
