Poland - In the past bisons used to live almost all over Europe, however, development of civilization and agriculture, as well as hunting, led to gradual extinction of the species. During World War I , being easy targets, bisons were slaughtered by both soldiers and local people. The last bison in the Białowieża Forest died in 1919. Significantly, beginning with the 18th century bisons were sent to zoological garden and private zoos.
In 1923 the International Society for the Protection of European Bison was created. They made a register of surviving pure-blood bisons – it turned out that only 54 were left and only some of them had any value for potential breeding.Nowadays in the Białowieża Forest (polish part) there are about 650 bisons, which constitutes the biggest herd in the world.
