Four European bison have been released into ancient woodland in south-east England, part of a rewilding project. The aim is to explore the potential benefits such large animals can have on woodland ecosystems.
The release of two calves from Ireland, a bull from Germany and a matriarch that was being held in captivity in Scotland was delayed by three months due to paperwork headaches around wild animal imports, as the UK is no longer a member of the European Union.
New Scientist met the team behind the project including the UK's first Bison rangers.

Greetings from Africa. This makes my heart so happy. Keep up rewilding this Earth. Great job!

@lucylocket5262 2 года назад

I strongly support rewilding and re-introduction of the native species. I am slightly concerned though if UK has large enough woodland to support European bison. I understand that this is a small, contained population but if they are to breed they will need much larger space....and if they are not allowed to breed then why would you re-introduce them in the first place? Also: UK needs bigger carnivores to control already overpopulated herbivores e.g. deer. Herbivores consume young trees. Thus they prevent forest from growing....

I read Isabelle Tree's Rewilding book, and I learned so much, she said early on in the book that we have this idea that in years gone by before humans inhabited the Uk that a squirrel could move from land's end to John O'Groats without touching the ground because the forest was so dense. She said that can't have been true because they found so many hoven animal bones in caves that must have been grazers so there must have been a lot of open grasslands, pretty much how Africa looks today. Plus, there were so many oak trees, oaks do not like to live in thick forests, they only thrive in open aspects, anyone who has seen an oak today will see this. Her conclusion was that the best way to preserve nature was for man to leave it alone.

It's their job. They get paid. They don't need to be thanked because it seems like a job that a lot of people would love to have. I'm really not trying to sound like a jerk but sometimes you run into people who overuse a word like "hero" or "awesome" or "thank you" and then the word loses it's power of the word itself. My point is that if you thank everyone and everything to see for every action that occurs near you then it probably means you're not actually thankful but you're saying it more because it's habitual. Or maybe you're just trying to make yourself look like you're a good person even though nobody knows you or pays attention so that would just be silly. Sort of like you're commenting just for sake of commenting because maybe you can't help yourself.

Large herbivores can be controlled without actually releasing predators. Humans can move these herds. In fact humans can direct herds to areas that need more attention and away from sensitive locations. We can plan the herd movement while wolves or lions wouldn't. In Britain's smaller wildlife areas controlled movements would be wise.

So the bison will eat tree bark & create clear spaces in the woodland areas…..at a time where we are being told we must plant millions more trees to absorb carbon we are introducing a species to reduce tree density in established woodland areas. Does anyone else notice a dichotomy in this reasoning? Can people just admit that they get exited about introducing big extinct animal species back into the over crowded UK - but it’s OK because this will be in rural areas & not in Hoxton or other trendy metropolitan areas where most of these schemes are cooked up as that is where the majority of the advocates, & funding, for these schemes live? Go back long enough and Hyenas & large felines lived here too, so how about releasing a few packs of those to wander the streets & markets of London? It’s a logical conclusion of the argument & would help to relieve the over population problems of the capital - it may even help with the current housing shortage & lead to housing becoming more affordable in these areas………much more affordable!

Exciting project ,time will tell how it all goes ,but of course the bison ,population would have to be monitored.

@dannyblackwell2426 Год назад

shame we cant have wild bison roaming free even if we had a larger group like the USA do with their bison.

When did Bison go extinct in the UK?

@lb540 2 года назад

Depending on the species of Bison, between 40000 and 6000 years ago.

@@lb540 Gee whizz,I wonder if these Bison will be able to make a go of it as things will have changed much I should imagine in this time frame?

@Liberty208 Год назад

nope, never happened in the wild or even semi-liberty

@rgolten 2 года назад

no talk of them breeding - will we have baby bison in this project?

@ahmeddurrani1513 2 года назад

Very intresting development so let us see the results

@mrboaty7162 2 года назад

Well I hope it works out but I have a suspicion that even though there are only a few the amount of damage they will do will not be beneficial . People don’t realize how much vegetation one of these animals can get through in one day . These things can eat around 2%-3% of their body weight a day , commutate that over a year and that is 40 tons of vegetation a year per animal .

Oh, those that are doing this know exactly what they are doing. Their goal is destruction of mankind, our removal.

@nightshift3635 2 года назад

eventually you will need to bring in wolves to keep the herd in check

@Victor_aeternus002 2 года назад

Wolves are not necessary to regulate bison populations. Large herbivores are more regulated by factors such as the amount of food and resources in an area, than they are of predation. This is why large herbivores often migrate in search of food, since they require a lot to support themselves.

@deinsilverdrac8695 4 месяца назад

1. wolves barely predate bison so nope 2. it would take decade to get a viable population, and even in a century they would still not reach maximum carrying capacity of the habitat, so no need for that

Bring Boars back instead of Bison.

@jeffhampton2767 11 месяцев назад

Is there actually enough forest in England? These bison look skinny

@deinsilverdrac8695 4 месяца назад

yes they are, and bison are lean, unlike cow which you're used to see, these are very fat and not healthy with very short legs

@gordonemery6949 2 года назад

Let them all in,bison,wolves,bears,boat people,let's starve this little island to death if the shit ever hits the fan there will be a lot of cannibalism....once we've ate everything else

dope, more please

@bogeyonanostrilhair9568 2 года назад

Wont be long before there's no trees there then.

@Victor_aeternus002 2 года назад

It's not like bison already live in other woodland areas across Europe and don't turn those areas into grasslands...

@JamieHumeCreative 2 года назад

I love them, They are gorgeous, but don;t you need more forests in the UK?! The whole of the sourth was deforested at one time.

When will bison burgers at the roadside stand be available, i tend to avoid roadkill

@AmandaComeauCreates 2 года назад

Do you have a question about why a bison disturbing a forest benefits the forest? Please ask. A lot of the principles are scientific and supported by permaculture principles as well. Forests thrive on disturbance, and benefit from providing trees a difficulty in overcompeting the lower levels like shrubs, vines, and soft green understory plants. Undisturbed forests get choked up and can't grow to their full potential. For example, light is so in demand you end up with splindley thin stretching trees with little to no canopy because there's simply no space between individuals. With more open space, more branches can spread and fill with leaves which drop in autumn and help build soil. There's much more than that, but if you have questions ask!
