Yes, although they are not endangered.

Bison were once endangered due to overhunting and habitat loss, but concerted conservation efforts have helped increase their populations. Today, bison are classified as near threatened, with populations continuing to grow in protected areas.
Assuming you are asking about the American Bison (Bovidae bison), no; at least not right now. Currently it is listed as "Near Threatened" by the ICUN with the status reflecting how massive conservation efforts have helped a species but it does currently rely on continued conservation efforts to keep it going. There are only 2 populations in Canada, 3 populations in the United States and 1 in Mexico. Granted, this does not include domesticated bison that are bred for consumption or bison that are notconsidered 'free range'.Gates, C. & Aune, K. 2008. Bison bison. In: IUCN 2011.

Bison were once endangered due to overhunting, but conservation efforts have helped increase their populations. As of now, bison are considered near threatened, which means they are not currently in danger of extinction but are at risk due to habitat loss and human activity.
There are two species of Bison in the genus Bison. The American Bison is Bison bison and the European Bison is Bison bonasus.
Wood bison, Siberian crane, Beavers, and Siberian tiger are four I can name. The wood bison, beaver, and tiger are endangered from being over hunted for their fur (as well as their meat for the bison). The crane is threatened by pollution of it's habitat. Measures are currently being taken to increase the population of these creatures.
American Bison were brought back from the brink of extinction after extensive over hunting and introduced illness left the total population at around 100 individuals. With continued proper management in the wild and the continued commercial demand for buffalo meat there is little danger of extinction,
Bison are threatened because, during the 1800s, hunters attempted to exterminate them. They hoped that if there were no bison, the Native Americans who relied on them would starve. Then the land would be free to use for settlers of European descent. They almost caused bison to go extinct. Today, there is a shortage of habitat for large populations of bison.
