The research being conducted with Catalina's bison herd is of tremendous scientific value. Duncan and King's findings could eventually help other wildlife managers maintain healthy populations of other animals, particularly in enclosed spaces like game reserves. But it does beg the question: are the bison so intensively managed because they're charismatic, and profitable to boot? Wildlife tourism is an increasingly important tool in the conservationist's toolbox, but what happens to species that arent quite so charming?
