Ancient bison arc coming back starting in Kent...: They’ve been absent in the UK wild for thousands of years, but now a special project is welcoming these “woolly bulldozers” home

摘要

It’s a crisp winter morning in Kent. I’m on the trail of a giant that once roamed prehistoric Britain alongside woolly mammoths and . sabre-toothed cats. A muddy car park between a caravan dealer and a car body shop seems an unusual place to begin,but waiting for me are Tom Gibbs and Donovan Wright: Britain’s first bison rangers.This spring, bison return to the UK following an absence of thousands of years. A pioneering conservation scheme will reintroduce these long-lost mega-mammals to one of south-east England’s largest areas of ancient woodland.
