This awe-inspiring species, designated the National Mammal of the United States in 2016, has come close to extinction-- and great effort is needed to preserve it for future generation. Award-winning journalist Kurt Repanshek traces the history of bison from their Ice Age ancestors to present-day strategies to bring them back to the landscape-- and the biological, political, and cultural hurdles confronting this work. Repanshek explores Native Americans' relationship with bison and presents a forward-thinking approach to returning this keystone species to the West and improving the health of ecosystems. 650 0 $a American bison $x Conservation. 650 0 $a American bison $x Ecology. 650 0 $a American bison $x Reintroduction $z West (U.S.). 650 0 $a American bison $z West (U.S.). 650 0 $a American bison populations $x History. 650 0 $a Wildlife management $z West (U.S.). 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships. 941 $a 2 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200722013311.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303021921.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E8E15A70166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
