Mexico Reintroduces 48 Bison to a Desert That Waited 200 Years for Them
Mexico's Fundación Pro Cuatrociénegas brought 48 bison from other parts of the country into El Santuario Wildlife Reserve in the Coahuila desert last year, restoring the species to the landscape after roughly 200 years. The 324-square-mile Cuatrociénegas basin of gypsum dunes and desert pools depends on the animals' hooves, wool and dung to churn soil, bury seeds and spread plants. No federal rules yet let bison replace conventional livestock farming there.
