Is this a good thing or a bad thing

My take from the article - not good or bad.
Researchers and conservationists used to see them as two herds, but seems more likely it’s one big herd with interbreeding. For most people that doesn’t matter, but for those concerned about the genetic diversity of the heard it may impact how they support the bisons.
