Wood Buffalo at Elk Island National Park
Listed under National Parks in Alberta, Canada.
At one point Wood Bison were teetering dangerously on the brink of extinction. Now, thanks to intense conservation efforts, a stable population of about 350 thrives in Beaver Hills’ Elk Island National Park. The park was originally created to protect the area’s elk, also a successful endeavor. Additionally, a huge variety of animals including beavers, moose, deer, and about 250 different species of birds make the park their home.
