Letter: Letter: Bring back bison

Published 17 July 1993

From A. COHEN

New Scientist recently featured the reintroduction of lynx to the Vosges and
Black Forest (Forum, 20 March). For some time the formation of a Trust to
encourage and promote reintroduction of extinct indigenous megafauna to
appropriate areas of Britain has been under consideration.

The list of species includes European bear, lynx, wolf, wild boar, great
bustard, beaver, bison and many others. It would consummate the fine work of
British conservation bodies to return these creatures to their natural
surroundings.

Would any readers interested in helping in the creation and operation of
‘The Smilodon Trust’ please contact: A. Cohen, Brown’s Lodge, 6, Church
