Seems like a strange and crappy way to have to deal with the situation but I don’t see any alternative way to deal with these issues.
In the states they have reintroduced bison from Yellowstone to the reserves.

They have built the population up and have been able to feed their people and share them with other reserves so they can start their own herds.

We have a perfect donor site right here
Elk island park
And they could even buy herds from farmers to speed up the reintroduction
