Return Of The Buffalo

Before the white man came, the bison, "Monarch of the Plains," was never slaughtered needlessly by the Indians. But the settlement of the West brought the great herds almost to extinction, until the United States and Canada established protected reserves, and brought back these interesting and valuable animals. Conservation, biological balance.
