The International Society for the Preservation of the Wisent was founded on 25 and 26 August 1923 in Berlin, following the example of the <a href="/wiki/American_Bison_Society" title="American Bison Society">American Bison Society</a>. The first chairman was Kurt Priemel, director of the <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt_Zoo" class="mw-redirect" title="Frankfurt Zoo">Frankfurt Zoo</a>, and among the members were experts like Hermann Pohle, <a href="/wiki/Max_Hilzheimer" title="Max Hilzheimer">Max Hilzheimer</a> and <a href="/wiki/Julius_Riemer" title="Julius Riemer">Julius Riemer</a>. The first goal of the society was to take stock of all living bison, in preparation for a breeding programme. Important members were the Polish Hunting Association and the <a href="/wiki/Pozna%C5%84" title="Poznań">Poznań</a> zoological gardens, as well as a number of Polish private individuals, who provided funds to acquire the first bison cows and bulls. The breeding book was published in the company's annual report from 1932. While Priemel aimed to grow the population slowly with pure conservation of the breeding line, <a href="/wiki/Lutz_Heck" title="Lutz Heck">Lutz Heck</a> planned to grow the population faster by cross-breeding with American bison in a separate breeding project in Munich, in 1934. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="World_War_II">World War II</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=European_bison&amp;action=edit&amp;section=8" title="Edit section: World War II"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Heck gained the support of then <i>Reichsjägermeister</i> <a href="/wiki/Hermann_G%C3%B6ring" title="Hermann Göring">Hermann Göring</a>, who hoped for huntable big game.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Heck promised his powerful supporter in writing: "Since surplus bulls will soon be set, the hunting of the Wisent will be possible again in the foreseeable future". Göring himself took over the patronage of the German Professional Association of Wisent Breeders and Hegers, founded at Heck's suggestion. Kurt Priemel, who had since resigned as president of the International Society for the Preservation of the Wisent, warned in vain against "manification". Heck answered by announcing that Göring would take action against Priemel if he continued to oppose his crossing plans. Priemel was then banned from publishing in relation to bison breeding, and the regular bookkeeper of the International Society, Erna Mohr, was forced to hand over the official register in 1937. Thus, the older society was effectively incorporated into the newly created Professional Association.
