National Park Service director calls Yellowstone's wild bison recovery an 'incredible conservation story'

A large bull looks out towards the camera. But conservation success doesn't mean the work is finished. In some places, rebuilding the population remains the goal. At Yellowstone, Bowron said the challenge now is largely about managing the healthy herd that's already there. I think at Yellowstone, we're in the latter -- figuring out how to successfully manage the herd that we have with all of our partners, she said. At the same time, the Park Service continues to pursue live-transfer opportunities with tribes interested in establishing or expanding conservation herds.
