The Prairie Island Indian Community in Minnesota has been working to restore their relationship with bison, which they see as their relatives. The community now cares for a large herd of at least 300 bison on a 110-acre farm along the Mississippi River. They are advocating for tribal self-governance under the farm bill to reclaim food sovereignty and have more control over the production and distribution of Indigenous foods. The Native Farm Bill Coalition is pushing for a pilot project that would support the purchase of traditional foods, and the USDA has announced a pilot program for the purchase of bison and other wild meats. The community also hopes to have more access to USDA conservation programs to support their bison production.

A video captured in Yellowstone National Park shows a grizzly bear approaching a herd of bison calves before being chased off by a protective mother bison. The encounter occurred in late May in the Lamar Valley, known for its large bison population. The bear was hoping to prey on a younger bison, but the mother bison charged at it, scaring it away. Adult bison, weighing about three times as much as a bear, often come to the rescue to protect their young from predators. Visitors to the park are reminded to maintain a safe distance from wildlife and carry bear spray for their own safety.
Scientists have introduced plains bison to the Russian Arctic in an effort to restore the region's grassy plains and ancient ecosystems. The bison will take on the role of extinct woolly mammoths, which roamed the area during the late Pleistocene epoch. By reintroducing large herbivores, scientists hope to restore the landscape's ability to store carbon and mitigate climate change. However, some experts are skeptical, as the current climate in the Arctic is warmer and wetter than during the Pleistocene, potentially making the ecosystem unsuitable for large herbivores. Nonetheless, the reintroduction of these animals is seen as an interesting idea with potential benefits.
