CLEAN : Bison reintroduced to the UK for first time in thousands of years

The video discusses efforts to restore native English woodlands by using European bison as ecosystem engineers. Instead of machinery, bison naturally manage the environment, promoting biodiversity. The video highlights the history of bison extinction and the ongoing breeding programs to reintroduce them. It envisions expanding these projects across the UK, using bison to maintain similar landscapes and enhance ecological balance.
