Yellowstone, the world's oldest national park, is experiencing a remarkable ecological renaissance thanks to the return of one of America's most iconic species: the bison. Their grazing patterns have transformed the landscape.
The bison's presence has improved soil health, increased plant diversity, and created habitats for dozens of other species. Birds, insects, and small mammals are all benefiting from the changes the bison have brought to the ecosystem.
“Their grazing patterns have transformed the landscape.”
"We're witnessing nature's incredible ability to heal itself when we give it the chance," said a park ecologist. "The bison are literally reshaping Yellowstone."
