This book was generally informative, but also quite scatterbrained. As someone who actively works with a conservation herd, I wish it had more lessons that could be applied to future bison conservation work. Maybe the problem is that, so far, conserving large herding animals globally has been mostly unsuccessful, but I wish the emphasis had been more on the few things that have gone well rather than the endless train of missteps in the last hundred years.
