Desert
Bighorn Council
The Desert Bighorn Council was unofficially
organized in 1957, and officially organized with adoption
of a constitution in 1959. The Council was established to
promote the advancement of knowledge concerning desert bighorn,
and the long-range welfare of these animals. Membership is
comprised of wildlife biologists, scientists, administrators,
managers, and others interested in the welfare of desert bighorn. |
| The council is interested
in all ecological and management issues affecting bighorns and
their habitat. The native desert bighorn has greatly decreased
in number since the European settlement of western North America,
and council members are dedicated to ensuring the future of
current viable populations and metapopulations. The necessity
of managing areas for bighorns becomes more critical each year.
Council members are currently implementing numerous studies
and management strategies designed to improve current management
guidelines. |
