If they can alter climate change by introducing more bovines then that is great news for livestock farmers.
But over £1m to do it??

It's on the most dangerous stretch of road we have in Kent, which is why I reckon the 1 mill will have to pretty much all go on fencing.

It seems that even the eco-lunatics can see problems with this one then.

I think it is a micro aggression against handled digging and earth moving implements, and I think we should no platform spades and as a bare minimum give a trigger warning before the s word is ever mentioned again.
4 in 1200 acres isn't really going to prove or disprove anything, bison change ecosystems by the way they graze in big herds.
Still I guess it'll make some people feel good about themselves, and for the majority of environmentalists that seems to be the most important thing

If it's any like the "load of hay overturned" that get reported it will read "dairy cows stamped on road"

Releasing Bison to the UK countryside is “cuddly conservation” at its finest. Release a large photogenic iconic species to draw in the funding bids and the publicity- You are not going to get the same PR with a bunch of ordinary planet destroying bovines....However with publicity comes the great British public and their canine companions, so in releasing bison you have a legitimate excuse to fence them in and keep wildlife safe from all manner of disturbance (in theory). Whether reintroducing Bison in to the overpopulated UK is in the best interests of the beast itself is another matter entirely- I personally don’t think it’s fair on the Bison to be dropped into such an environment.

Do u think I could get a few million to try and reintroduce velociraptor?
I am pretty certain they were a native species about 70million years ago.

Funny you should say that but back in 2012 the Russians tried cloning woolly mammoths. Wonder what became of that .... may be in deepest Siberia something stirs .....
Russian scientists to attempt clone of woolly mammoth
Scientists are planning a Jurassic Park-style attempt to try to bring mammoths back to life but not everyone is convinced it will work.

Edit: see the Kinki University was involved . Back to beaver every time
that's just fine...as long as they're responsible for any further damage- with proved ongoing indemnity insurance*- , and neighbours are allowed to knock them over at will.
*wouldn't it be nice if I could claim from those responsible for the thousands of pounds lost to grey squirrel damage?
my thoughts usually return to beaver sooner or later.Funny you should say that but back in 2012 the Russians tried cloning woolly mammoths. Wonder what became of that .... may be in deepest Siberia something stirs .....

Until climate change really ramps up it's probably still too cold for velociraptors. However, you might get funding for sabre-toothed tigers. They would be appropriate apex predators for the bison and therefore tick the 'responsible species management' box on the grant application.
A couple of sabre-toothed tigers roaming Kent might also make a Channel crossing on an inflatable boat less enticing. ?

Ah
But are Bison bovine ??
Don’t they Belch and fart like normal cows?
So are cows the solution ??
I’m confused ?

I have just read the news report.A Kent Wildlife Trust initiative. One male, three female European Bison
Going to be fenced in but meeting one of these would hurry up your dog walk.

European bison to be introduced into Kent woodland
The European mammals will restore a rich habitat for local wildlife, conservationists say.www.bbc.com
What a load of expensive tosh. I doubt they do anything above the average Limousin which will rub on trees, create bare areas of earth and trample the ground and selectively graze.
Says that people will see wild animals again. Well if they can find 4 in a 1200 wilderness then come here and find my sheep in 2 acres of whins.
Might be safer in amongst some Limmies rather than a wild bison

Little biodiversity in this woodland now. It used to be beautiful in spring with buttercups.
