- Abstract
- "This is the first-person narrative of a scientist who travels to one of the most remote places on Earth - Wood Buffalo National Park in northwestern Canada - to study the predator-prey relationship of wolves and bison. The park is the only place in North America where wolves and bison have continued their predator-prey relationship since before the time of Columbus; elsewhere the bison were exterminated, or the wolves, or both. Lu Carbyn takes us with him on his journeys to the north, sometimes alone, sometimes with filmmakers, sometimes with students. The result is a rare glimpse into the ecology of these mammals as their life-and-death struggles play out in the open delta of Wood Buffalo National Park."--Jacket.

- Abstract
- "An expert on the buffalo tells the history of this keystone species through extensive research and beautiful photographs. Few wild animals captivate our imaginations as much as the buffalo. These magnificent creatures played a significant role in structuring the varied ecosystems they occupied, and North American Indigenous Peoples depended upon them. Based on author Wes Olson's thirty-five years of working intimately with bison--and featuring Johane Janelle's stunning photography--The Ecological Buffalo takes the reader on a journey to understand the myriad connections this keystone species has with the Great Plains."-- Provided by publisher.
- Notes
- There is history related to the buffalo here in Banff such as an attempt to bring them back with a herd from Montana, Indigenous history.
