I don't see why the buffalo herds can't be regenerated. There's lots of grass. Just let loose a bunch of buffalo of both genders and presto, nine or ten years later, lots of buffalo!!
The wood bison in the largest remaining herd (Wood Buffalo National Park) have TB and brucellosis and so they can't be used as a starter herd. Both of those diseases are reportable.
The plains bison is actually found in many places in Canada, farmed for it's meat and hide.

Let's get 'em out and running around. Ok, I know: farming, but heck, can't they have another park up here? A healthy one?
