The Hook Lake Wood Bison Recovery Project
A bstract : The Hook Lake Wood Bison Recovery Project (HLWBRP) is a wildlife conservation project aimed at recovering a captive, disease‐free herd of wood bison ( Bison bison athabascae ) from a wild herd infected with bovine tuberculosis ( Mycobacterium bovis ) and brucellosis ( Brucella abortus )....
