Discover how a conservation project in Western South Dakota is bringing life back to the grasslands with the reintroduction of buffalo. As part of Wild Idea’s commitment to respecting animals and ecosystems, nothing goes to waste. By Leatherbiz.
It’s estimated that just 200 years ago, millions of bison roamed freely across the US. However, in a mere fraction of that time, their numbers dwindled to mere hundreds due to settlers’ actions. Thanks to the efforts of private individuals, tribes, and the Department of the Interior, the bison were saved from extinction.
For Dan O’Brien, reintroducing bison to the prairies wasn’t his initial focus. As an author and conservationist, he was dedicated to tracking the peregrine falcon. However, he soon realized the vital role bison played in the ecosystem. Their presence revitalizes the soil, allowing grasses to thrive and habitats to form.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
