	Journal of Canadian Studies: Where the scientists roam: Ecology, management and bison in Northern Canada
		From 1925-1928, 6,670 plains bison were transferred from the overcrowded range at Buffalo National Park near Wainwright, Alberta, to the supposedly understocked range in Wood Buffalo National Park, a process that resulted in hybridization between the plains buffalo and wood buffalo and the infection of the northern herds with tuberculosis and brucellosis.
		One year later, Maxwell Graham, who was Chief of the Parks Branch's Animal Division, began a bureaucratic campaign for a large bison preserve in the Slave-Athabasca region that resulted in the creation of Wood Buffalo National Park in 1922.
		But the question of what to do with the wood bison of northern Canada did not end with the creation of the national park; the park was merely the precursor to a program of intense bison management instituted by federal wildlife conservationists.
