Do you love to ride as much as bison do?
In winter, we go sledding, skiing, or skating. Bison also have their favorite places to relax and have fun—slides. These are areas of meadows and forest edges where the animals regularly roll around on the ground. And here's the interesting thing: slides not only help get rid of parasites and speed up shedding. They literally transform the landscape.
When bison break up the turf and expose the soil, the meadow begins to regenerate. These areas become home to weakly competitive plants that wouldn't thrive in undisturbed areas. As a result, the meadows boast two to three times more diverse grasses and wildflowers than the surrounding areas. It turns out that the bison aren't just having fun; they're also supporting biodiversity. A noble pursuit!
In the Klyazminsko-Lukhsky Nature Reserve in the Vladimir Region, winter remains a challenging time for these relict giants. A shortage of food makes supplementary feeding vital. 430,454 rubles out of 927,600 rubles have already been raised to provide the bison with food for the entire winter season.
Even a small contribution makes a difference. Support the bison now!
Thank you for being there and helping!
