Restoration of Bighorn Sheep Metapopulations In and Near 15 National Parks: Conservation of a Severely Fragmented Species
The
observation of bighorn sheep in their natural settings in the canyons,
slick rock, badlands and rocky ledges of the national parks of the Intermountain
Region stir the imaginations of the U.S. public. The restoration of
this decimated and fragmented species to its former vast range in the
parks has been a formidable task that is being undertaken by the National
Park Service and U.S. Geological Survey.
