Putting and Keeping Wild Sheep On the Mountain

Kevin Hurley of the Wild Sheep Foundation joins the program to discuss the organization’s extraordinary efforts to conserve and restore wild sheep populations across North America and Central Asia. From bighorn sheep in the Rocky Mountains to remote mountain ranges halfway around the world, the Wild Sheep Foundation has become one of the leading forces in protecting some of the planet’s most iconic mountain wildlife.

In this episode, Kevin shares the conservation success stories, scientific research, and habitat restoration initiatives that are helping wild sheep populations recover in areas where they once faced severe decline. The conversation explores the major challenges confronting wild sheep today, including disease transmission, habitat fragmentation, predation pressures, and the impacts of changing landscapes.

We also dive into the global importance of wild sheep conservation, the role hunters and conservation organizations have played in funding wildlife restoration, and the incredible efforts required to manage and protect animals that inhabit some of the harshest and most remote environments on Earth. Whether discussing desert bighorns, Dall sheep, or the legendary Marco Polo sheep of Central Asia, this episode highlights the passion and dedication behind one of the great wildlife conservation movements of modern times.
