 Pleistocene Park in Yakutia originally wanted to bring wood bisons into its enclosures, but failed to do so and brought plains bison with European bison instead.Additionally, a team of Russian and Korean scientists proposed potential deextinction of steppe bison with wood bison in Siberia using cloning techniques.Publicly owned free-ranging herds in Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories comprise 90% of existing wood bison, although six smaller public and private captive-breeding herds with conservation objectives comprise roughly 10% of the total ("n" ≈ 900).
