Life is full of tradeoffs: We can have more bison or we can preserve archaeological sites

See Grand Canyon won’t seek volunteers to kill bison this fall by FELICIA FONSECA of The Associated Press. Excerpt:

"A bison herd that lives almost exclusively in the northern reaches of Grand Canyon National Park won’t be targeted for lethal removal there this fall.

The park used skilled volunteers selected through a highly competitive and controversial lottery last year to kill bison, part of a toolset to downsize the herd that’s been trampling meadows and archaeological sites on the canyon’s North Rim.

Introducing the sound of gunfire and having people close to the bison was meant to nudge the massive animals back to the adjacent forest where they legally could be hunted. But the efforts had little effect."
