The Return of the Bison: Europe’s Largest Wild Animal

It is time for us to take a deep dive into the story of one of Europe's most iconic species: The European Bison also known as żubr or wisent. This mighty bovine is Europe's largest animal and is also a keystone species that plays a very important role in its ecosystem. In this series we want to cover the story of their decline, recovery and how they now play a central role in Europe's rewilding ambitions.

🔎 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
===============================
The bison is back. This is surely a reason to celebrate and showcase a species that's suffered such a tragic past. For anyone who's been lucky enough to witness them in the flesh, I'm sure you'll understand my giddiness for this an awe-inspiring species. But for those who haven't, I want to share more about my recent encounter with a herd of bison and also take a closer look at their unique story. From their historical decline to recent revival and the controversy surrounding reintroductions, the European Bison is taking a leading role in rewilding the landscape of present day Europe.
