State and federal officials have recommended relocating a small herd of bison from Yellowstone National Park to a Wyoming Indian reservation, part of a bid to restore a species that once numbered in the tens of millions.
The 41 animals are now being held in a federal disease quarantine compound in Montana. If Friday’s recommendation is adopted by the state’s wildlife agency, they could be moved to the Wind River Reservation by early April.
