Conservation efforts to save the European bison have helped Europe’s largest land mammal avoid extinction.
Previously all but gone from the wild, the species has just been moved from ‘Vulnerable’ to ‘Near Threatened’ in the latest update to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
One hundred years ago, bison had almost entirely disappeared. Their habitat was lost to logging, wildfires and agriculture with hunting further reducing their numbers. By the early 20th century, only 50 individuals remained and could only be found in sanctuaries or zoos.
However, long term conservation has helped the wild bison to recover.
