The European bison is one of the species of animal that humans have almost completely wiped out. The last giant of our continent, the Bison bonasus - a powerful herbivore that can weigh over 900 kg and reach 2 metres in height and 3 metres in length. His decline began in the Middle Ages, despite laws restricting or prohibiting hunting with heavy fines or even the death penalty, as decreed by King Sigismund I Jagiellon of Poland in 1538, leading to his gradual extinction. The First World War threatened to extinguish the European bison. The last Polish specimen was killed in 1919, and, by 1927, there were no more bison in the wild. Of the three then-existing subspecies of European bison, fewer than 50 remained, all of which were in zoos and mostly belonged to the one subspecies. Starting with these 50 bison, various European countries began reintroducing European bison into the wild. Today, 90% of wild bison live in Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. In the Czech Republic, European bison were reintroduced to semi-open terrain around 15 years ago in two large areas. The population currently stands at around 170 individuals. In one of these areas, which covers around 4,000 hectares, a limited hunting plan has been proposed. By opening the attached PDF, you can view a description of the offer.
