Yellowstone National Park recently released its Final Bison Management Plan. It arbitrarily limits bison numbers through tribal hunting outside of the park and the transfer of public Yellowstone bison to Indian reservations. The NPS Preferred Alternative 2 is better than the existing bison management but will continue the degradation of wild bison. Alt. 3 is […]

Satellite Technology and AI Revolutionize Cattle and Buffalo Tracking in Australia
In Arnhem Land, Northern Australia, where an estimated 22,000 buffalo roam freely, scientists are embarking on a mission to track and manage the animals from space. The project, aptly named SpaceCows, is a groundbreaking initiative that combines satellite technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and indigenous knowledge to address the ecological and economic threats posed by feral […]
