VOICED : First taste of freedom for rewilded bison in Romania

The video discusses the rewilding of European bison in Romania's Carpathian mountains. Bison are transported from zoos across Europe to acclimatize in a reserve before being released into the wild. The project aims to restore ecosystems by keeping meadows open for various species. Challenges include managing unplanned bison escapes and addressing past hunting and deforestation impacts. The nearby town of Artemis sees the bison as a potential tourist attraction, promoting the value of living nature. By 2025, it's hoped that 500 bison will roam free in the area.
