Parks Canada’s Bison Story 2017 www.canada.ca parkscanada.gc.ca/banff-bison
Parks Canada manages bison at six other national parks across the country: Elk Island, Grasslands, Prince Albert, Wood Buffalo, Riding Mountain, and Waterton Lakes national parks.
In 2017, Parks Canada made history by reintroducing a small herd of plains bison into Banff’s eastern slopes. Their return is part of a five-year pilot project (2017-2022) to inform decisions about long-term bison conservation in Banff National Park. Key Milestones of the Reintroduction to Date (Summer 2018)
Parks Canada successfully translocated 16 plains bison from Elk Island National Park to a 16-hectare soft-release pasture in the backcountry of Banff National Park on February 1st, 2017. The ten pregnant females in the herd gave birth to 10 healthy calves (7 females and 3 males) in the spring 2017 (the first on Earth Day).
Ecological Restoration: As a keystone species bison influence the landscape in ways that benefit many plant and animal communities.
Cultural Reconnection: Bison are an icon of Canada’s history. They were an integral part of the lives of Indigenous Peoples and Canada’s pioneers, and they still have an important role in the culture of Indigenous Peoples. Restoring bison to the landscape is an opportunity to renew cultural and historical connections.
