Watch how the king of the Alps came back from the brink: are emblematic of the North American prairie. But these gigantic land mammals were once endangered, after European settlers hunted them for their skins. A population of 30–60 million dwindled to just 300. Only the creation of US national parks like Yellowstone managed to save them.

There are now around 500,000 bison in the USA, but most live on ranches and some on semi-wild reserves. Until recently, when a group was released into the wilderness of Badlands National Park. Is this the start of rewilding the American prairie?

If you're looking to see some of the most spectacular prairie ecosystems in the US, then you need to visit the Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve. This preserve is home to wild bison, which are the biggest animals on the continent and are important to the restoration of the prairie.
In this video, we'll take a look at how the restoration of wild bison in the American Prairie has helped to bring the prairie back to life!

The Nature Conservancy has been working hard to restore wild bison to the American Prairie for over 25 years, and their work is paying off! By reintroducing bison to the prairie, they're helping to restore the ecosystem, protect critical habitat, and help to promote biodiversity. Watch this video to learn more about the restoration project and see how it's helping to bring the American Prairie back to life! The Nature Conservancy has been working hard to protect the big bluestem grasslands and Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, and it's thanks to their efforts that the American prairie is starting to come back. The bison are responsible for spreading the grasses and helping to restore the ecosystem, and it's an amazing example of how nature can bring life back to a lost environment.Credit: Terra Mater
