What backs it

Nearly 50 bison were introduced to El Santuario Reserve, a 4,000-hectare section of Mexico's CuatrociƩnegas UNESCO nature reserve, starting in August 2025. Within months, the animals are regenerating soils, improving water infiltration, reducing wildfire risk by eating dry vegetation, and strengthening biodiversity across the Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem.
