DID YOU KNOW?

Bison once roamed in the millions through the prairies and woodlands of western North America. Overhunting in the late 1800s nearly caused their extinction, and the continued survival of the North American bison is thanks to ongoing conservation efforts. Between 1985 and 1992, over 70 wood bison born at your Toronto Zoo were released to the wild to restore populations. Today, the Toronto Zoo’s bison conservation program focuses on the Bison Genome Biobank and assisted reproductive technologies. Together, these approaches safeguard valuable genetics for the future and provide methods to incorporate this banked genetic diversity into living populations.
