True , conservation efforts have, they did this by gently helping the bison.
with the bison we have an specifically diverse animal , this means that preserving the genetics should be easy.
but it gets harder because of the world around it changing. this means that it has to adapt to a lot of things.

Alleles are the individual genes that give rise to certain characteristics in an organism.
When an allele is "fixed" to a population, this means that the characteristic will be constant & most likely will not change until the environment changes as well.
Like with arctic hare, the alleles that influence the color of their coats (white in the winter & brown in the spring/summer) will stay because any fur pattern other than the aforementioned characteristics with result in becoming someone else's food with the lack of camouflage.
Hope that helps!
