• European bison Bison bonasus were re-introduced at two sites in the Bieszczady Mountains during the 1960s and 1970s. The genetic analysis done on the basis of the European Bison Pedigree Book allowed the determination of basic genetic parameters for every herd member, including founder contribution, founder genome equivalent, inbreeding and kinship values. This analysis has revealed that after about 30 years, those small, isolated herds have become highly inbred and genotypes of some founders are missing in this population. Appropriate individuals bearing genes of underrepresented or lacking founders have been selected from Swedish and Danish breeding centres, since in Poland the Lowland-Caucasian line is already represented only in free ranging herds at Bieszczady. After the acclimatisation period, bison were released within the home range of the western herd in Komancza Forest District. Genetic analysis indicates that similar problems exist in other herds in the Bieszczady Mountains, therefore the supplementation of missing bloodlines is also recommended for them. Management of Bieszczady herds should focus on creating a true meta-population with an effective population number of at least 100 individuals i.e. 200-300 animals in total.
