  • After over a century of absence, the return of wild plains bison to Banff National Park is a historic, ecological and cultural triumph. This remote camera and drone footage provides the first glimpse of how the bison are doing in the wilds of the backcountry since being released over two years ago.

    This is an excellent video - but more importantly - a phenomenal outcome to a very important undertaking with respect to ecosystem restoration. It really confuses me that there are people who have clicked “thumbs down” on this video. 🤔

    Anyone else sad to see one bison limping and the baby has an issue too with one of his legs?

      Yes, unfortunately. I wonder what happened.

    • @patricialloyd3657
      @patricialloyd3657 3 роки тому +3

      Yes but I guess injuries happen and since the idea is to let them live free, they can't examine or treat them. I was wondering if it's some kind of hereditary issue since it seemed the momma with the bad leg was followed by the baby with the bad leg. Only a guess of course.

      ​@@KevinOutdoors "Drone flying is a popular hobby for many people and may also be used for commercial purposes. However, Drones can pose risks to visitors, disturb wildlife and lead to negative experiences for other visitors to Banff National Park. For these reasons, Parks Canada strictly limits the use of drones.
      Anyone caught operating a drone within park boundaries and without an approved permit may result in law enforcement action and a fine of up to $25,000."

      In other words if you have a permit you can fly a drone in a national park.

    • @KevinOutdoors
      @KevinOutdoors 3 роки тому +1

      I am a licensed drone pilot here in Canada. The airspace over National Parks in Canada is a strict 'no-fly zone'. The rationale provided is to not disturb park visitors or wildlife and it is extremely difficult to get a permit. The point I am making is that it is a bit hypocritical for parks staff to be using drones for their own commercial use.
