The European bison is a survivor. At the start of the 20th century it had vanished from nature and only a few specimens remained in European zoological gardens. A hundred years later, a few populations have been successfully established in the wild and an extinction has been avoided. Yet monitoring its populations in human-managed ecosystems is far from simple. The present strategy makes useful suggestions for a long term conservation of this magnificent species, the largest terrestrial mammal of Europe.
