The #European #bison #Bos #bonasus, prefers forests with open areas and was originally widespread throughout Central, Western, and Southern #Europe. #Herds consist of about 15 animals, with sexually mature males only seeking company during the #rutting season.The last originally #wildbison was #shot in 1927. Today's all descend from 12 captive individuals. Now, nine bisons were #released in the #Iberianhighlands to study how bisons can #restore #ecosystems.

‘#Nature has priority’: #Rewilding map showcases #nature-led restoration
"The term [rewilding] dates back to the late 1990s, when a pair of scientists, #MichaelSoulé and #ReedNoss, introduced rewilding as a concept that centered on the restoration of #wilderness and the return of large animals, especially carnivores, to the landscape."
by John Cannon on 11 April 2022
"In the past decade, the European #bison (Bison bonasus) has made a comeback in Central and Eastern Europe. Hunters had killed the last known bison in the region nearly a century ago. But thanks to reintroduction programs in Belarus, Poland, Russia and Romania, nearly four times as many bison are alive today as there were in 2003. The increase, to some 7,000 animals, was enough to prompt the IUCN to downgrade the European bison’s conservation status from vulnerable to near threatened in 2020.
"The largest of #Romania’s free-roaming herds lives in the #ȚarcuMountains, a low-slung range in the Southern Carpathians heavy with old-growth forest. The reintroduction of the bison, including the recent addition of two males and six females in 2020, is a collaboration of WWF Romania and the Netherlands-based nonprofit #RewildingEurope. It’s also one of dozens of rewilding projects featured on a new map from the Global Rewilding Alliance that was officially launched April 11.
"'I wasn’t aware that you have [#WildBison] going through Romania,' said Alexander Watson, CEO of #OpenForests, the social enterprise company based in Germany hosting the rewilding project map."
