The American Prairie bison herd on the Great Plains of North America has grown to more than 1,000 animals for the first time, Good News Network reported. An annual calf count at the end of the breeding season brought the total size of the resident herd to 1,016 bison. [1]
The milestone comes more than 20 years after the nonprofit organization was founded. American Prairie is working to connect land to build the largest private conservation project in the United States. [1]
The American bison, also known as the American buffalo, is endemic to North America. Historically, its range stretched across a vast expanse of grassland from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Seaboard. [4]
The growing herd marks progress in restoring relatively free-roaming bison populations to their native grassland habitats on the Great Plains. [1][4]
