Beschreibung

Key Selling Points:

  • Bison are a keystone species. Facing extinction, a successful conservation plan brought these animals back from the brink. This STEAM title examines the biology and habitat of bison, their role as a keystone species, their importance to Indigenous culture, conservation efforts and how kids can take action for bison.
  • Bison are “watchable wildlife” that can be easily observed in many American and Canadian parks and conservation areas, including tourist hotspots like Yellowstone National Park, which gets close to 5 million visitors a year.
  • Bison conservation is a major focus for Indigenous communities in North America that have a traditional relationship with this species. For many in these communities, restoring bison is intimately tied to their own cultural revival.
  • The bison is the national animal of the United States. (It’s also the provincial animal of Manitoba and state animal of Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming.) In the U.S., the first Saturday in November is National Bison Day, and July is National Bison Month. In Canada, National Bison Week begins on the second Sunday in July.
  • Frances Backhouse is a biologist and science writer. She’s also an award-winning author and has written Beavers, Grizzly Bears and Owls also in the Orca Wild series. Beavers was shortlisted for a Hackmatack, Red Cedar and City of Victoria Book Prize.
