Buffalo Survival and Canada’s Rebound Through Parks
The piece recounts the buffalo’s near extinction after widespread slaughter by Indians and settlers, then details Canada's recovery. It traces the 1870s to 1910s efforts to repopulate the plains herd, their transfer to Elk Island and Wood Buffalo Parks, and the growth of managed herds across national parks. It closes with a warning to protect wildlife as a national resource.
