The message

The European Bison vanished from the wild in 1927. Every bison alive today descends from about a dozen animals kept in zoos and parks, and now thousands roam free again. Whatever has fallen apart, you can rebuild, starting from what is left.


Ask yourself

What are my twelve: the things still standing that I can rebuild from?

The animal

Europe's heaviest land animal once roamed across much of the continent.
