Twenty-three donated bison were released in Mexico’s northern state of Chihuahua as part of an effort to have at least 100 of the animals roaming the country within three years, officials said Friday.
Large herds of bison once existed in parts of northern Mexico and their return could help regenerate natural grassland in the Rancho El Uno nature reserve, said Environment Secretary Juan Elvira Quesada, according to news reports.
Quesada called on the U.S. to stop building border fences that can disrupt the natural migration routes of animals, the Associated Press reported.
