Saving Wildlife - Two Different Takes

This week on Hard Truths of Conservation, Dan Cabela travels to New Zealand and investigates the challenges of managing a non-native species while balancing ecosystem protection. Threatened in their native range, the mountain-dwelling Himalayan Tahr of New Zealand are thriving, while providing an economic benefit through hunting. However, challenges have arisen through management practices, which has divided much of the country.

From there, Dan heads to the Great Plains in search of a better understanding of the role that utilization has played in bringing the American Bison back from the brink of extinction.
