Glacier National Park has asked for volunteers to help protect one of the area’s vital and unique species, bighorn sheep. Beginning July 27, the Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center (CCRLC) and biologists from the University of Memphis are recruiting 45 individuals to “identify, classify, and record behavior of bighorn sheep in Glacier National Park this season.”
Glacier National Park is home to one of just two large, native bighorn sheep populations and has multiple loosely connected herds. Excluding Glacier and Yellowstone national parks, Montana has almost 6,000 bighorn sheep, but right now, these populations face a serious threat.
“Bighorn sheep across North America are facing critical disease threats,” Glacier announced in an official release. “Volunteer efforts will help test whether community science and animal behavior can improve disease surveillance and management in National Parks and other wild areas.” https://outsider.com/outdoors/news-outd ... -behavior/
