July 18 (UPI) — Wild bison are roaming in Britain for the first time in 6,000 years in an effort to transform the country’s ecosystem back to its natural state and fight climate change.
The Kent Wildlife Trust and Wildwood Trust released a small herd of European bison, also known as “woolly bulldozers,” Monday into the West Blean and Thornton Woods nature reserve near Canterbury, Kent, which like the rest of England is in the grip of a heatwave.
The three bison will spend their days rubbing against trees and knocking them down to provide space, light and deadwood to help other plants and animals thrive. Besides grazing and eating bark, the “ecosystem engineers” will also roll around in dust baths creating more open ground for foliage, insects and other wildlife to return.
The wildlife trust said it will eventually introduce other grazing animals, including Exmoor ponies, Iron Age pigs and Longhorn cattle, whose natural behaviors complement the bison for a more natural woodland that can absorb carbon and help mitigate climate change.
