Abstract
A reintroduced population of wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) in the southwest Yukon has been growing and expanding its range; without intervention these bison are expected to soon migrate into Kluane National Park and Reserve of Canada. In order to enable a proactive response, we identify the key historical, social, ecological, and legal issues faced in the development of a wood bison management strategy for the park, including the critical question of whether they should be considered a native or an exotic species in the park. We believe wood bison should be considered native there. It is unclear what impact—positive or negative—bison will have on the ecological integrity of the park, since ecological integrity is a sufficiently plastic concept that it can be interpreted as including or excluding bison. We identify a range of alternative management strategies and the largely normative trade-offs associated with each, plus a set of actions that would be useful regardless of the alternative ultimately selected. A rational, feasible, and justifiable decision about the future of bison in the park will require a high-functioning and open co-management process so that participants with different values, knowledge, strategies, and interests can articulate and achieve their common interests.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
