Alaska Wood Bison Reintroduction: Habitat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лис 2017
- Alaska has not had wood bison for more than a century. SCI Foundation has aided the wood bison reintroduction effort for the past 10 years and is a member of the Wood Bison Restoration Advisory Group. Through its contributions, Safari Club has applied hunter dollars towards the maintenance of the bison holding facility, the care of the bison while in captivity, and the relocation of bison to the wild!

It's amazing how not many people realize that bison are native to Alaska
I was one of them, i thought they weren't.. now they need to bring Musk oxen as well to complete the picture.. they brought some of them to Russia when some scientist discovered they were also part of the ecosystem
Thank you SCI Foundation and Alaska for working this project. It just thrills me to see bison being reintroduced to American landscapes. I hope they thrive. They are wonderful animals and part of our American heritage that we nearly lost forever.
American hunters do much of the hands on, get down and dirty, environmental work. Much respect. Quality Deer Management Association has a journal "Whitetail Journal" with great environmental projects and research.
Whatever improves the environment for deer improves it for all parts of the ecology ... just as the bison do.
Loved the flower covered head blinds!
Herbivores are amazing creatures
Under half a million Bison/buffalo left in N.America which sounds like many, but in 1700 there were 40 million and the 1600's closer to 50 million. In 1920 they were almost gone.
most europeans hunted bisons down to near extinction.

@@uruvilaathakarjanan9996 It wasn't just Europeans the Native Americans were hunting them to extinction as well
Bison, beautiful animals.
If their numbers are finally high enough the bison will open up the forests by themselves and won't need to rely on preopened habitat any longer. Wild grazers are so important to maintain open areas for native meadows and the associated insects, birds etc.
You all are so inspiring! Thank you for your work and education!
Great work guys!!!!!
I'm impressed.Thank you.
Nice work SCI and hunters.
Extremely Outstanding!!!🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆☕☕☕
Just superb .......... Fantastic , great job . Absolutely heart warming . . . . and Thank You All seems to run very short of the mark . Brilliant , just brilliant .
Thank you for your support, Roberto! Stay tuned to our blog First for Wildlife for updates and other projects!
Finallyspme good news. A smart fat sighted project. Many thanks.
Thank you all for your comments! Don't forget to check out our blog First For Wildlife on Wordpress to see how much more SCI Foundation is doing for conservation!
How on earth could six people not like this. Insane
I find it insane that people even look at the negatives. They are irrelevant.
this video is one of my lists
Awesome!
I think a musk ok reintroduction would recreate traditional AK ecology
Great that they can be a part of nature again and also in natures circle with apex predators.
Fantastic to watch, but will them collars get tight has the bison grow?dont want them choking after all they have been through
Great question! Yes, the collars get tighter as the bison grows. However, our researchers make sure to capture them and re-adjust the collar as needed. This is true for every study that involves collaring wildlife. Thank you for your support and please feel free to visit our blog First For Wildlife on Wordpress!
Sinse México, congratulations.
Se escribe , From Mexico, saludos👋
Brilliant
Thx. Great
Awesome
Redundant, thanks.
How are the bison handling wolves and bears? Formidable predators.
So, you're saying that since there are miles of untouched grasses, that the Bison are underpopulated relative to the regions ability to carry?
Was Bison Historically/Native to that place or places like it? I hope their isn't a concern about the land being to soft for the Bison weight. I like the idea of having places for Bison, but I just hope they are put in the Right places.
Now all we gotta do is reintroduce the true wild horse in Alaska and camels
How many of them are there
What happened to the bison?Were they all shot?
Some hope.
GOOD\11 THANKS LONG LIFE FOR THEM FREE

What kind of predators do they face in that area?
Wolves.
any new births
What's the difference between Wood Bison and what I understand to be American Bison?
i guess the wood bison likes to live around woods and nibble on trees ore often?
What about their genetic biodiversity?
Did the Bison come from Alberta?
Brian Fairey Yes. SCI Foundation assisted in bringing the bison to Alaska from Alberta. We helped by feeding them while in captivity, expanding and outfitting the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and finally transporting them by truck to the release site! Please feel free to check out our blog #FirstForWildlife @wordpressdotcom and enter “Wood Bison” in the search bar to see how this was achieved!
@@scifoundation620 will y'all send some over for the pleistocene park in Siberia where they will join the rest of European megafauan
Elk Island National Park
@@scifoundation620 That is so cool, of all the things "they" spend our tax money on, of this i approve.
Please let us know who killed this wonderful animals reason for wipe out of natural habitat? Sorry If i am wrong.
My boss always said THE SHOW MUST GO ON & I don't understand who stop the show ? Please comments ?
i stopped the show now its time to clean up. Psychos killed, because they are psycho and evil
Keep the wolves off of them!
Absolutely not! Unless a species is highly endangered or nearing extinction, protecting them from predation is extremely counter-productive. Wolves, grizzles, and other large-mammal predators will help cull the herd of older, weaker, and sickly animals. This is vital to the overall health of the herd. Conservators recognize and respect that thriving ecosystems naturally go through cycles where predator and prey experience population growth. The growth of one serves as a healthy counterpoint to the growth of the other. The right goal is balance.
@@abrother9821 Not in my opinion.
White man almost kill off the bisons. Hopefully, the White man will bring it back.
Blessed this gentleman he's one of God's sons The Spirit of SittingBull must very pleased now I'm sure PRESIDENT TRUMP is happy about this improvement blessings
ok, now leave them alone, they didn't need you pre columbus time, and they don't need you now.
Do you need any Germans out there? :)
