I posted this film a few weeks ago but now with a funny commentary www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/05/herd-bison-sees-pack-wolves-incredible-footage-shot-fixed-camera/This news has surfaced recently. It appears Poland has too many bisons, about 1500, and 150 new ones are born annually.
During the Council, the Minister of Environment proposed also reintroduction of European bison from Poland to the restored habitats with accompanying Poland’s support.
- “I proposed the European Union to commence – with the support provided by Poland – restoration of these habitats which have been damaged in many sites of Europe in the past. Poland should be perceived as a country of significant cultural and natural heritage and as the country which restored the European bison population. Poland is ready to provide the specimen and offers its financial support” – added Minister Jan Szyszko.
The ministerial proposal was welcomed by the European Commission which expressed its thanks for the offered support in the European bison reintroduction. Germany and Holland politely refused, Bulgaria and Romania accepted the offer. |

This news has surfaced recently. It appears Poland has too many bisons, about 1500, and 150 new ones are born annually. So what's the problem? Hunters can just take them down during the yearly hunt and lay them out with all those foxes and deer!! (I'm being sarcastic here...) I think it's great that the bison population has been restored, after all, the population of native Europeans is declining due to low birthrate, so there should be plenty of room for the bison...oops, I'm being sarcastic again. Seriously, I'm happy to see Poland has been successful in restoring the bison population! |

Seriously, I'm happy to see Poland has been successful in restoring the bison population! 1 That`s what always happens, and conservationists and animal lovers always protest. The same is this year - they are planning to shoot a few dozen old and sick animals. 2 It would be great if people took an example. 3 Yes, Polish scientists played a major role in bringing the species back. Practically all bisons in European zoos have Polish roots.
Conservation
The protection of the European bison has a long history; between the 15th and 18th centuries, those in the Forest of Białowieża were protected and their diet supplemented.[35] Efforts to restore this species to the wild began in 1929, with the establishment of the Bison Restitution Centre at Białowieża, Poland
Reintroduction
Beginning in 1951, European bison have been reintroduced into the wild, including some areas where they were never found wild.[40] Free-ranging herds are currently found in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Russia, Slovakia,[41] Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, and Germany,[42] and in forest preserves in the Western Caucasus. Białowieża Forest, an ancient woodland that straddles the border between Poland and Belarus, is now home to 800 wild bison.[43] Herds have also been introduced in Moldova (2005),[44] Spain (2010),[45] Denmark (2012),[46] Bulgaria (2012) and Czech Republic (2014).[47 |
