Now I would like to introduce you to my robot coworker Ursa Minor. She is a database with a wealth of knowledge about endangered animals. She uses a technology called Augmented Reality (AR), to showcase her information for you. |

Why is the American Bison endangered?
Ursa Minor Says: The main issues that threaten the American Bison are genetic diversity, human intolerance, habitat loss and fragmentation. Essentially, their populations have been depleted by humans and their once expansive habitats have been taken or sectioned off by human agriculture. |
What else can be done?
Ursa Minor Says: A practice called "holistic land management" is being tested and could be implemented more widely. This method of managing land (with cattle or bison) is designed to mimic the way herds used to migrate across massive swathes of the land like the Great Plains for example. |
