A good news/worse news story about oil sands in Alberta
Bison population is up but only 1 sq km out of 895 sq km has been certified as being reclaimed.
-------------------------------------
Greg Fuhr never thought part of his portfolio as a Syncrude executive would include a bison ranch.
"People are puzzled when we say that," said Fuhr, Syncrude's vice- president of production, mining and extraction. "We get a lot of questions on that."
As of Friday, he can say that Syncrude managed that herd of bison on its oilsands lease for 25 years — stretching back to a time when wild herds of the animals had disappeared from the area.
