Reply to comment by greenmachine11235 in A pioneering rewilding project has had an early surprise: a bouncing baby bison. It is the first wild bison to be born in the UK for thousands of years. by grab-n-g0

I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. You’re both talking about two different problems.

Grab-n-g0 is saying they aren’t trying to reintroduce a species but more in line with “hiring” some guys to do conversation landscaping (aka the bison).

Green machine is saying aren’t the rewilding groups worried about introducing a species that might become invasive or have dire consequences. I also live in the USA, and while some reintroductions of species have been great (red wolves in the southeast, cougars in the northeast) there have also been some that have been devastating (omg the feral pigs as an example).
