Wood Buffalo

Wood Buffalo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Canada, is a vast wilderness preserving North America’s largest population of free-roaming wood bison. Spanning diverse ecosystems like boreal forests, wetlands, and salt plains, it also hosts the endangered whooping crane’s only natural nesting ground. Recognized for its ecological importance, it stands as a critical sanctuary for biodiversity and natural heritage.
