Trade bison with N.W.T. as appropriate

Wood bison from the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary come from different genetic stock than the Yukon bison which came from Elk Island Park. The Mackenzie bison have a long history of northern survival and must therefore be better adapted for the subarctic environment. Obtaining some bison from the sanctuary to release and breed with the Yukon bison would therefore enhance the genetics of the Yukon population for subarctic survival.
