American Bison - Untold Story | Plains & Wood Bison Conservation

#documentary #wildlife #naturalhistory #bison #buffalo Once numbering in the tens of millions, the American Bison is one of North America’s most iconic and resilient species. This wildlife documentary reveals the untold story of both the massive Wood Bison and the legendary Plains Bison. From early encounters with French fur trappers to their deep cultural significance for Indigenous peoples, discover how bison shaped the land and the lives of those who depended on them. Witness breathtaking scenes of their seasonal migrations, powerful mating battles, tender moments between mothers and calves, and unique grazing behaviours that help sustain entire prairie ecosystems. We also explore their near-extinction in the 19th century and the modern conservation efforts—led by Canada, the U.S., and Indigenous Nations—that are restoring herds to their ancestral ranges. Today, thanks to these efforts, bison once again roam the wild landscapes they have called home for thousands of years.
