The United States government is redoubling its efforts to restore bison populations to Native American lands.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland released an order last week establishing a six-member federal working group on American bison restoration. The group, which will be composed of representatives from five federal agencies and one tribal leader, is charged with creating a "shared stewardship plan" by the end of the year to increase bison populations on lands managed by the federal government and tribal nations.
