I know. And anecdote is a word I'm not sure is apropriate for describing that incident.

It's true that he tries to manage overgrazing and removal of old growth of grasses, but you can't imho compare natural grazing of bison herds in their natural habitat with a farmer subdividing his fenced plot into several sections and moving his herd from sector A to sector N in a controlled manner.
If you're doing animal agriculture, you're not really helping the nature, doesn't matter how, you're still unnecessary exploiting it. Here, I've said it.
